We have a smart antenna where the receiver is in the antenna housing and the
link to the timing receiver is digital over coax. On that, we can run a
variant of DTI (DocSis Timing Interface) which calibrates the cable delay
automagically. Not sure what the original question was but yes, it's po
I think you would have a decent chance of getting any 240 to work. While we
did have our own configuration, I think it was just to allow full range tuning
across the subset of tuning voltages we could reach with our dac, which is
really reaching, but maybe .5 to 4.5V.

time based on gps receiver module. At some point, your unit must have not been
set or been set to incorrect value or had its gps receiver replaced. Is there
an antenna prop delay command available you can use?

The challenge with public grandmasters is that the delay variation introduced
by the intervening network destroys the time accuracy.

Well the units are 100ns each so if you set offset to 3, it should shift the
1pps output by 300ns. Another point is that there is significant asymmetry in
the ntp packet processing if you are looking at accuracy. For the 1996 time of
day requirement of 100ms, it was moot. If you set the box u

skew on the PPS output.

The offset command in the TS2100 is just a phase stepper in 100ns steps. Usage
was originally targeted at compensating for the GPS antenna cable length
(~ns/ft). As it turned out, we used it for another purpose as well. The very
first models of the 2100 used an external GPS receiver (Trimble
I think a couple of those bits do correspond to the oscillator type installed
but I think you can ignore them. If I remember right, those oscillator bits
were only used to calculate the dispersion update for ntp packets when
flywheeling through a loss of signal. As far as I recall, you just nee
Rob, you wound me :-) Actually, the Meinberg unit is a great box. The
commercial devices pretty much all fit the need that you describe. One
caution I would make about them is the note about the environmentals.

My guess is that the error is real and coming from the TS2100. The
TS2100 was (is) a SNTP server running a RTOS but the timestamps are done
at the application layer. If you look at the output 1pps of the TS2100,
my guess is that it will probably agree with your other devices within a

I think the Rb version went in a taller case? As for the reboot,

My proto unit from 1996 is still happily ticking along on my bench in

Yup, according to the factory, that's the latest update.

Yup, you're in good shape. These are pretty straightforward devices.

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
