Hi If you watch the Lucent vs the 3801 as it warms up, it chugs back and forth for the first 24 hours or so as it settles in. If you shut down the 3801 for a week or so, you can watch it do the same thing (now compared to the Lucent) as it warms up.
Best to leave all theses OCXO based boxes on all the time.
