Thanks Ulrich 2 E -10 seems high and a straight line on a double oven is what I would expect, looking at a month or two may tell more. Also what is the change in ambient temperature? With Rubidiums in the less than $100 range I think it is the best bang for a buck. I am still waiting for the final results of the three testers of the Dual Mixer but once it is completed I will test the combination of a M100 with a selected HP 10811 replacing the internal Xtal Osc. and using the 60 second loop of the HP 5061B.

Bert, I am really unsure whether the drift alone should make me think that the parts are bad. If the drift can be modelled well by the regulation loop (and the Z3805's software seems to do so) it can well be compesated for. Unfortunately even here is no real expert for MTI stuff who could tell us more about MTI stuff.
