Yes, I am controlling the OCXO frequency with a voltage input (center tap of 
10k trimpot from +5V to ground). I hooked up my custom 26 MHz PIC divider* and 
was able to trim the OCXO to match the output of my GPS 1pps signal to better 
than 1E-9 (at least for short periods of time).  

These parts draw about 60 mA at +5V in operation in a 23 C ambient environment, 
after a brief one-time warmup pulse of about 200 mA. The can gets a bit warm if 
left open. I taped a small thermistor against the case, and made a little 
styrofoam box to nest snugly over it and measured the can case temp to reach 
about 50 C when thus insulated.

I am accumulating some performance data on the two units I have and can post it 
online if anyone is interested.  (actually, I was thinking of buying a bunch 
more before posting the data, because the price seems too good to be true).
