Hi All, Okay, so I have changed the ntp.conf so that it now looks like this:
server 127.127.20.0 prefer mode 2 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 server 127.127.22.0 tos mindist 0.250 statistics loopstats statsdir /var/log/ntp/ filegen loopstats file loop type delay enable However, ntpdate now says that no servers can be found and ntpq -p is still indicating now PPS: remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *GPS_NMEA(0) .GPS. 0 l 3 16 1 0.000 7.872 0.000 I think this *may* be because I have not added the ATOM driver during the configure, so that is what I will try now. Thanks for all your help so far. Best Regards, Paul.
