Re: [WISPA] GPS NTP Server?
I discovered that somewhere along the lines, MT added support for USB-based GPS. So I bought a $15 outdoor USB GPS off eBay. We'll see next week if it works. MT docs said as long as it supports NMEA output (which this one did) it'd work. We don't need accuracy down to the nanosecond, but within a second or two. We provide services to the local E911 PSAP, and need to make certain our end matches theirs for VoIP, log files, etc. For this app, we don't want to rely on Internet-based NTP servers, as some of our application is not tied to the public Internet.

Re: [WISPA] GPS NTP Server?
The last time I looked into this, the GPS had to be one that output a 1 pps signal, and most didn't. Of course times could have changed (pun intended) and this isn't a requirement any longer. The GPS-35 from Garmin may meet your specs, I think, if it's still made. And BTW- if you happen to have a Canopy CMM in your network, it also has the NTP server derived from GPS built in.

Re: [WISPA] GPS NTP Server?
We have one running on a FreeBSD server. I'll have to look at how Aaron set it up, but I'm sure there are plenty of software packages out there that can do this. http://time.qnan.org/ is a linux example. Mikrotiks can also act as GPS NTP time servers using the optional NTP server package. http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/3.0/system/gps.php - synching with GPS time http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/3.0/system/ntp.php - NTP server and client docs.

[WISPA] GPS NTP Server?
Anyone know of a place to buy a rackmount NTP server that obtains timing from GPS? I spent a few minutes on Google and found a couple that were $1000+. The PCI cards can be had for about $50, antenna's are almost free -- so one could build one, but I'd prefer an out of the box solution that looks nice in a rack. Jayson WISPA Wants You!
