Hi Max! Thanks for the information, I was wondering if you had documented what you did to your Raspberry Pi so that it might be reproducible to someone like me (a newcomer time-nut and intermediate Linux user) ... you had said: Here is what I have been able to do with a Motorola Oncore UT+

I would also like to know how to best tweak the Raspberry Pi 2 for best performance as an NTP server. Although I have been using Linux-based firmware in my routers for several years now, I have never actually worked In Linux before. I have gone through several tutorials on compiling a custom

Hi Well, take the CPLD up to 100 MHz, and feed 20 ns pulses to the TDC’s RC, drive that into a cheap 24 bit sigma delta A/D and you have an easy 1 Fs. Do a little processing on multiple samples and you have 15 displayed digits. = Of course everything past about 50 ps is just noise …. It
