At *source*, the distance to the transmitter must surely be a lot less than 3 km :-) According to the National Physics Laboratory "Every UTC second is marked by an 'off' preceded by at least 500 ms of carrier, and this second marker is transmitted with an accuracy better than ±1 ms." from which I conclude it's never going to to be more accurate than a few ms at *receiver*. Someone has compared a KHz radio time signal from DCF with the GHz radio time signals from GPS: http://www.hopf-time.com/en/dcf-gps.htm. I imagine MSF accuracy is similar to DCF. -- RGB _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
