I'll change the servers. I do actually have a Rubidium source, which gives a 1 pps output and can be locked to GPS. But I cant be bothered to do all that to just have the time. I dont need sub-second accuracy, but I obviously want to avoid big jumps like this. I'll pick some closer servers. I am in the UK. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
