Hey all, I am looking at the possibility of using a GPS receiver for NTP time sync either via the nmea refclock driver or gpsd, just a little home project. >From my googling, I've read that the only way to get decent results is to go with an rs232 sync and stay clear of usb or bluetooth. Looking at the mainstream gps sites, I've found the Globalsat br-355 unit and I'm wondering whether this is suitable for NTP sync and what kind of accuracy I should expect.
http://www.buygpsnow.com/globalsat-br-355-water-proof-serial-gps-receiver-sirf-star-iii-br355-v3-1-1-free-arkon-mount-432.aspx The device seems to use a ps2 cable which converts via a y-cable into a db9 serial connection and gets power from the PS2. What I can't seem to find in the specs or on the globalsat site is whether the db9 connection provides a PPS output. If not, are there any PPS capable receivers out there that don't require electronics knowhow (soldering etc.)? That's all I've found so far.
