List members,
First let me say that I hope everyone and their families are healthy and careful to protect themselves during these challenging times of a pandemic.
It has been quite some time since I have had time to read or post to this list. As such, the availability of the technologies and their embedding into the Linux kernel has changed over the years and I do have a few questions.
1. It is my understanding that PPS via USB GPS devices have come way down in price (sub $10 range) on eBay for US customers. Can anyone suggest a reasonably decent and inexpensive unit to order?
2. If one were to compare using the NTP servers provided by the NIST vs using a PPS via USB GPS device, which would seem the better choice and why?
I am intending to place into my router (I currently use Gargoyle firmware but am contemplating to switch to DD-WRT or OpenWRT soon) on such device, so that my router can provision local NTP services.
Thanks in advance to everyone that reads or answers my post.
Very Respectfully,
Stuart Blake Tener, N3GWG (Extra), MROP
