This is a very clear phrasing, thanks. My understanding is that existing commercially-available equipment that recovers time from the AM carrier provides an accuracy on the order of a milli-second. Anything better required tracking phase. So, what would the (NTP with current WWVB equipment) accuracy and jitter be? I appreciate that we seem to be moving towards a GPS-monoculture, but how close is the (NTP with WWVB AM) to the 50 microseconds number? -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ghane _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
