Another way to look at it, most of the time your repeater will be much closer to being on frequency than most of your user radios. There will be enough tolerance that no one will know the difference.

Subject: Re: [repeater-builder] Motorola Quantar 5MHz Reference Ultra High Stability Oscillator CLN1477A
A Quantar high stability oscillator would allow a VHF repeater to go
for a very long time without having to adjust back on frequency. The stock osc in a VHF Quantar is pretty good and should go maybe a couple of years without drifting far enough to worry about. I have a spare high stability osc here and a couple of VHF and several UHF Quantars and would not bother to use it on those. If you already own one it wont hurt to use it but I don't think its worth purchasing at the typical $200 to $250 prices I've seen recently.
