I can just report that I didn’t see any issues with my Sure board at that time. I am getting 1-5us offset reported by NTP pretty much stable all day. > Is there any hint as to what I could do to track down the problem.

Have you checked the antenna. I had one of mine fall off the window ledge which didn’t help. Have you power cycled the receiver? That may kill it, but at least you will know. If you have another computer, connect it to that to see if the problem follows. You could configure it as « noselect » (if possible in chrony) and see if the clock drift is erratic. Borrow an oscilloscope and check the raw PPS signal. If you have a second PPS source, check your config with that in place of the Sure board. > : > By the way, what in the world has happened to this newsgroup?
