I've been following the conversation about Pakistan and the evolved discussion about satellites, jitter, etc., and I've seen similar threads in the past.
However, I've not been able to find a discussion about the best time source, assuming one is in the U.S. I know that jitter is bad, but many GPS sources, especially USB-connected, are very bad when it comes to that... and yet supposing that I am ready and willing to spend money on purchasing a GPS that my computer, ntpd, and the pool will love, I have no idea what to get. Also I'd rather avoid having to solder and whatnot -- I know that there are "bare" GPS devices with just a raw wire hanging out of them, but I am probably not hardcore enough to deal with it. Can anyone recommend some devices that are ideal for our purpose and reasonably straightforward to set up? Perhaps after some discussion, there can be a section added to the <www.pool.ntp.org> webpage that, in addition to suggesting volunteering your PC and syncing to well-established stratum-1 and stratum-2 servers could also suggest some brands and models of known-working highly-accurate GPSes (or other time-acquisition devices) for those who would like to help in a larger capacity? Probably help of this nature is more beneficial overall than just another stratum-3 server. -- Philip
