That decision was wise. The decision to express date in weeks and put it in a 10-bit field was not so wise. Oh well. > AFAIK the GLONASS satellites use UTC instead, which causes an > interruption in the sequence of data frames whenever a leap second occurs. I think GLONASS uses "Moscow local time". I read that Galileo also has its own time scale (GST) synchronized to TAI and it broadcasts the time offset to GPS time expressed in nanoseconds. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
