Hi All,
I'm real interested in NTP and accurate time, hence why I'm on this
newsgroup. I would like to look into getting a time sensor and I hear
the Garmin GPS 18X is what some folks run unless they need much more
precision. Is this still a pretty well regarding GPS unit for pretty
accurate (I know that's highly subjective) time keeping? This would be
a hobbyist thing and I'm not running an important business, if you were
going to ask.
I have had a Garmin 18 as well as 3-4 SURE kits, the latter is half the
price, requires about the same amount of soldering, and has been
measured at the 20-30 ns level, so quite accurate.
Next question...Do most folks here use the NTPD client, or it is a
mixture of Chrony and openNTPD? Maybe some folks just go with what ships
with their OS?
Since I've been on the NTP Hackers team for a couple of decades I'm
partial to the original ntpd. :-)

The comparison chart is pretty nice and lays each option out nicely:

I think that's all for now. Feel free to provide any URLs to any
resources I should check out about time sycing, NTP, etc.
