I thought some of you might get a kick out of this too:
I set up a shell-script to snapshot the tek4014 window from my
"AducLoran" receiver every few seconds.
The I managed to get ImageMagick to turn a selection of those images
into an animated gif:

The first 100 frames are 4-5 seconds apart, thereafter the rate drops
to 1 frame for each minute.
Here is an initial allan deviation for the receiver, relative to
a free-running FRS-10 Rb:

The red trace is the averaged off-the-air measurements by the receiver,
the green trace has the linear frequency drift of the Rb removed.
