5 ppb. If settability is not specified, it can be estimated from the tune
range and the number of turns of the adjusting device.  A rule of thumb is
to use one point of resolution for every three degrees of rotation.  The
10811 has +/- 10 Hz minimum - assuming they threw in some margin - 30 Hz
total range with 18 turns gives  1.4 ppb - you're doing quite well with 0.25
ppb.
But, of course the OCXO is probably aging 0.5 ppb/day...........
