Rick, Thanks for the post. I don't need real time "time" for things these days...if I do, I turn to an RTOS...but I am naive in this area. Since reconfiguring my Windows time specs, including not using the windows.time server, I have not seen a time offset exceeding 0.5s...in fact, the highest I recall is 0.3s...that is 10X the error you report for Meinberg
I visited the site, and found https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/info/ntp.htm https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm#ntp_stable so it appears that there is a software-only solution? I don't need to support one more piece of hardware, because my timing needs are not that great now. Thanks for the suggestion...I had not heard of Meinberg previously. ~R~ 72/73 de Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2020-12-01 16:46:-0800, Rick Bates, NK7I wrote: >Rich, >You WANT to change what Windows does because a generation ago, to allow their >server software to function, they increased the error gap in the NTP system.� >It allows WAY too much drift and they've never cleaned that up (because most >users don't care). > >I use and suggest Meinberg; which can replace the Windows NTP service.� It's >free and keeps my computers within .03 seconds to standard (on very slow >Internet) without requiring high overhead (it just works and well). > >73, >Rick NK7I
