Stephens] Ah, I was aware that Hal had added some extra counters in the driver, and I was thinking (novel concept there) that perhaps there is an error with the new counters. Why I say this is that that it's not related to the serial input as per: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ntpq -c clockvar associd=0 status=0011 1 event, clk_no_reply, device="NMEA GPS Clock", timecode="$GPZDA,044739,20,02,2012,+00,00", poll=564, noreply=1, badformat=0, baddata=0, fudgetime2=-480.000, stratum=0, refid=GPS, flags=1 the timecode looks great there, as does clockstats: 55915 45557.497 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020001 $GPGGA 55915 45558.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020017 $GPGGA 55915 45559.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020008 $GPGGA 55915 45560.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020022 $GPGGA 55915 45561.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020017 $GPGGA 55915 45562.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020023 $GPGGA 55915 45563.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020025 $GPGGA 55915 45564.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020012 $GPGGA 55915 45565.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020020 $GPGGA 55915 45566.495 127.127.20.1 delay 0.020027 $GPGGA But anyway, let's see what the new code brings.
