Yes there IS. It uses a CR-604 OCXO. That's Oven Controlled Crystal
Oscillator. It uses a resistive heating element operating directly off
the HV supply.


What "high voltage supply"?? Does yours have tubes in it?? Mine only
draws around 200ma on receive, hardly enough to run its computer and any
kind of heater...
