Hi

The holdover uncertainty prediction is far more a function of your OCXO than of the GPS.

My Holdover Uncertainty Prediction is now oscillating between a high of 2 - 3 microseconds and a low of 200 - 300 ns with an oscillation period of 7-9 days.  It's only been running for a few weeks so I'll have to wait and see if the oscillations die out.  Depending on how things settle, there might not be any need (or room) for improvement.
