Sounds to me like the hardware and code are pretty straight-forward. The
difference comes from the terms and coefficients in the PLL loop filter and
those need to be optimized for each OCXO. There appear to be here a handful
of people who have a pretty good idea of what those coefficients should be
for various well-known OCXOs out there.

So why not do the GPSD hardware, software, and then provide the
coefficients that will get a handful of the more popular OCXOs available
out there to within a decade of optimum, certainly closer than what one
would be talking about by just bolting x-random OCXO onto an LTE-lite? I
suspect there would be a market in the time-nut world for such a critter.
