Hello People,

I seem to have a timing issue with a HP 58534A smart antenna; the NMEA refclock 
is always about half a second out and never gets selected:

[root@NTP /etc/ntp]# ntpq -p
     remote                     refid                    st     t       when    
poll    reach           delay           offset          jitter
==============================================================================
 GPS_NMEA(0)            .GPS.                   0       l       6       16      
377     0.000   525.229  0.027
*time.non-stop.c        203.35.x.x      2       u       28      64      377     
0.285   1.158           0.312

I have tried this on a win NTP server and a freebsd job. Same result.

I wonder if I could bounce this off you, any insight would be appreciated.

According to the manual:
The first character of the first serial data packet is transmitted 400 ms
(± 2 ms) following the rising edge of a 1PPS pulse.
A date/time stamp for a 1PPS pulse is included in the serial data
packets which are transmitted by the 58534A GPS Timing Antenna
directly before the rising edge of each 1PPS pulse.
In a series of data packets, the date/time stamp is normally the last data
packet in the series.

Please see http://www.non-stop.com.au/sites/users/marks/097-58534-01-iss-1.jpg 
for diagram.

The timing looks wrong to me, and I would have thought the sentence should come 
on the pulse, not before.

*Is this normal behaviour?

Now, I have just applied fudge 127.127.20.0  time2 -0.5 via ntpdc

After a few seconds:
[root@NTP /etc/ntp]# ntpq -p
     remote                     refid           st      t       when    poll    
reach           delay           offset   jitter
==============================================================================
 GPS_NMEA(0)            .GPS.                   0       l        4      16      
377     0.000           25.272  377.930
*time.non-stop.c        223.252.x.x             2       u       26      128     
377     0.299           0.731           0.076


I will monitor for a few hours and post result.


Many thanks,
Mark
