[ntp:questions] Inexpensive OEM GPS units?

2007-11-10 Thread Wesley J. Landaker
Can anyone give me some suggestions on inexpensive (< $100) OEM GPS units that support NMEA and 1PPS for use with NTP? Or any non-GPS hardware clock sources that anyone can suggest? I am already aware of the Garmin GPS 18 LVC, which seems the most promising, but I'd like to know about other option

Hi all, The GPS receiver is from an Indian Company ACCORD. It has a custom NMEA data with GPS time and is validity. It also sends standard NMEA data including GPGGA, GPGLL with UTC time at 9600 baudrate. It also generates 1 PPS pulse. For more information visit http://www.accord-products.com/g
