From my Omni VI manual, section 4-9 "... A PLL circuit on the Logic
board compares this signal to a precision reference frequency and sends
a d.c. correction voltage back to the oscillator via....... ...always

So the "band switching oscillators" are as stable and accurate as the
TCXO or ovenized oscillator. The BFOs do not have this type of setup,
and can be a source of instability or inaccuracy even if your reference
oscillator is locked to WWV's cesium standards.
