Re: [ntp:questions] About use of PPS in NTP sync

Hello: I built a NAS out of an older model, but new, Super Micro mobo ($140), an older model Intel CPU ($15), good ECC memory ($100), and FreeNAS built on FreeBSD. The NAS only uses about 40 Watts, so it is not expensive to run. As luck would have it, FreeNAS came with NTPD built

This performance is marginal for WSJTX. I need 10ms offset or less after 15 minutes. One more time, this is what I have done to achieve sub-millisecond accuracy (currently 0.092 offset and 0.033 jitter): Make sure you are using a recent version of NTPD; I am using ntpd

If the reach is not 377, have you used WireShark or another TCP/IP monitoring program to find out what is happening to the NTP packets? It is not all hard to use. -Original Message- From: questions-bounces+elliott.ch=comcast@lists.ntp.org

Hi, Our system uses NTP package version 4.2.6 (Linux CentOS 6.5). Due to system constraints, we have configured the ntpd to update the clock only using slewing. At some point, one of our system's clock's was ahead by 20 minutes, and we noticed what appears to be a faulty output from the ntpq
