GPS uses GPS time which avoids leap seconds. If you want to introduce something like a leap second, you don't need a frequency transient. You can adjust the way that you label the cycles. > If you use the output to say drive a radio telescope monitoring a distant > object you would want Earthâs rotation to be phase or sidereal Time locked. For sidereal time, the UTC-sidereal offset changes by a second when a leap second is introduced so the net result is constant. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
