Now that is a bigger problem. I suspect you cant get LeoNTP boxes due
to the Raspberry Pi shortages. Most anything similar would be Raspberry
Pi (or similar) based, and also be unobtainium.

Low hassle probably means RS-232 somthing, but those are rare lately.
You can take a plain u-blox 8 hobby PC, and an RS-232 converter, but
then the low hallse goes away. Then hope your PC still has an RS-232
port.
The simplest thing for a non-hobbyist is to buy something like a
Meinberg PCI card that is designed as a timebase. But low cost
goes oout the window.
