FWIW, I have experience with the LeoNTP, TM1000A and TM2000A. The LeoNTP is a very solid NTP server. Highly consistent service, with extraordinary low variance assuming the display is left on the default time screen (other screens negatively impact variance). Standard deviation reported by

Strange. I have three of these that I have tracked pretty closely for several years. To my knowledge, I’ve never experienced any circumstance in which they were off by one or more seconds. Regarding the holdover behavior, I have not tested that. But if you believe that the current behavior

I think several people have run into that issue, including myself. It seems designed for a slightly tapered rod. Easy to fix with the right tool. Denny > On Aug 29, 2019, at 16:41, Ben Hall wrote: > > Only issue with mine was that the thread wasn't fully cut, so I modified an > old taper

Hi David, No, no ground plane. Don’t really have a lot of room for that in the window. Out of curiosity, how large of an impact have you found with a ground plane? Btw, I love the pan! Denny > On Apr 30, 2019, at 00:34, David J Taylor via time-nuts > wrote: > > Agreed with Dana's

Thanks Mark. For the cost, this seems like a worthwhile thing to try. I don’t think the homeowners association would be too thrilled about a pizza pan on a pole so I’ll probably have to do without. Besides, If I mounted a pizza pan I would also endure endless teasing from from my wife who

Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations on an antenna / splitter configuration. I currently have six GPS/GLONASS/Galileo timing devices, each with it’s own puck antenna in a window. I have an opportunity to move to a (single) roof top antenna, with a splitter to feed the individual devices,
