Guys,
Joe sent be a receiver and I have finally verified it works sorta. It
took a couple of weeks before it found WWVB, but it did. I connected it
to deacon for test. When it first came up ntpq reported it as working,
but after a couple of minutes the driver aparently went into a loops and
stayed there. At least ntpq timed out for repeated pe queries. I left it
commented out to aviiod posssible gattery exhaust. I need a little help
here, as I cannot clearly see what I am doing.

Dave,
I have a couple of Arcron's, although I don't actively use them anymore.
If you let us know exactly what you'd like us to do, we'd be happy
to help. Alternatively, I can ship one to you or Harlan and you can
verify the fix yourself.

If you use the refclock_arc.c driver (127.127.27.*) please reply to me
and mention which receiver and radio station you use. The driver
supports MSF, DCF, and WWVB.
I'm asking because five years ago, a bug report was filed indicating
the driver was dependent on the system's time zone, when it should be
independent of it. The driver maintainer provided a patch, and the
reporter of the bug said it cured his problem. Then, unfortunately,
the bug was dropped on the floor and the fix never integrated into the
distributed ntpd sources. Details at:
http://bugs.ntp.org/402
Harlan and I are embarrassed by the oversight and would like to
resolve it, but also aware the proposed fix is not
backwards-compatible and risks breaking currently-functioning setups.
Additionally, we are both leery of making changes to a reference clock
driver without adequate testing. I would like to see the change
tested against several radio stations and with the system timezone set
to UTC and local time.
Cheers,
Dave Hart
