i think error 8 is not unusual if the OVEN is still cold and/or the OCXO is not stabilized yet
even if it is TCXO still the same. If the error goes away, that's not a big deal.

The output looks good across the entire range. There's a few places where it's low by about 5 dBm, but since it's mostly in the higher portions of the band, I'll attribute it to cable and connector losses. One thing I need to invest in soon is some better quality connectors and cables. Thanks for the error info, that makes sense.
