I was in a hurry and used the term felony loosely. Sorry about that. I may defend my property against imminent destruction, i.e. someone trying to burn it down, knock it down... ect. If I shot a kid with a spray paint can, I'd have a problem in court. But if I shot a guy using a bulldozer to

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.

Oh yeah, that's right, the MT will do that. Ok - any suggestions on an decent GPS receiver that is outdoor/weatherproof and has a serial connection? I've found a bunch of USB, a couple that are serial and meant to go in a car (cigarette lighter mag mount), and even more that aren't

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

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
