The point is that a PPS signal by itself does not provide any information about its reliability. PPS signals sent by GPS receivers can go unsynchronized simply because the antenna gets disconnected or covered, and the receiver will happily send a pulse every second that is drifting away at a rate determined by the quality of a quartz crystal. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
