Folks,
I, too, had a great weekend.
The Thunderbolt arrived, plugged it in, and it promptly found it's self. I
can't wait to put it to work. Thanks to all (TAPR, time-nuts, etc.) for
their effort on my behalf.
My father (now deceased) collected and repaired clocks for 60 years leaving
my broth
Pointless overkill? Ask those people in New Orleans what happens when
originals and backups are kept in the same city. I know of several (ex)
businesses that wisely kept their backups in different buildings there... all
were lost.
Ask my friends in Jarrell, Texas (or what's left of them af
Never been a fan of clone backups, unless it's a primary server and you have
identical machines available. As for backups in distant cities or protected
storage vaults, I'd sorta think that depends on what you really need...
Another issue with clone backups of system drives, is that I've seen more
Ah, excellent. I'm also a TAPR member.
Thank you.

I will get that photo for you. (I didn't actually use a flash - that's just
the halogen floor light I use to see what I'm doing.) Also, being a keen
amateur photographer with some quite decent equipment I'll put some effort
in and make it a good one!

Yes the pendulum is a 14mm Riefler. I gather that's significant?

Mark, which pot is it ?
Rex and myself bought units that were not programmable. Both of us have
tweaked the pots and have not seen any change in drift. I turned pots 1
turn per day and did phase observations, over the course of a week.

Any backup that is stored in the same city as the original (some would say
within 100 miles of the city) is NOT a backup. It is just a disk waiting for a
(real) disaster. No fire proof safe, baggie, etc is a substitute for
physical distance.

Actually the 5680A and 5650A units that have the DDS do have a C-field pot.
The DDS is only accurate to 0.01 Hz. They set the C-field to minimum, program
the DDS constant that gets the closest to the desired freq into the CPU chip
(this is what gets reported by the "S" command), then they t

With the oncore VP in the z3801a isn't this a bug/feature of the Bj command
to announce it as soon as it is available, while other/newer receivers
wait till the month prior? There is even a workaround for this in the
oncore refclock driver.

In NTPv4, the warning is propagated as soon as it is available. If it
were more than 6 months in advance, this could be an issue but that
hasn't happened yet. NTP also ignores the alternate (Mar/Sept) leap
windows by design.

Shouldn't the hpgps ntp driver wait to raise the leap second flag until
a month before the leap second and not whenever the satellite happens
to first transmit it? See attached patch.

Congratulations, that is a really nice looking clock!
You may have a real gem there. While the movement doesn't look like
anything special, the pendulum looks like a Riefler.
Which is something quite special...sort of like having a Thunderbolt
inside your bedside alarm clock...

Yes, I forgot about those. If I remember correctly, a -20 option has
DDS. It's sometimes hard to tell which one you have without opening it
up. My 5680A came from an EBay auction where the seller claimed it was
programmable. It wasn't. It has the non-DDS 10 Mhz sine output.
However,

Almost identical to the master clock(s) that were used to synchronise
the British Railways station clocks in about 1980. A 48v 1pps was
distributed by private wire
Congratulation Jim, you really have a nice pendulum!!!
