I Do NOT have the high-stability TCXO, but even with the 'stock' TCXO,
once I calibrate it against WWV (usually at 15 MHz or 20 MHz (IF/WHEN
I can hear WWV on 20 MHz), the K3 will be +/- 5-10 Hz (@ 20 MHz) the
next week... and that's more than accurate enough for me.
Though there are always some VALID reasons for having a high-stability
TCXO, probably 90%-95% of us really don't NEED this level of long-term
accuracy. We'd LIKE to have it, but we really don't 'need' it. And
some of us are willing to PAY for it. I'm not.

Should be a good starting point.
