Thanks all for their comments on this topic. Over the weekend I spent much time messing about with the NTP stuff and the NMEAGps application. NMEAGps does just as described and does make a nice IRIG-B signal through a PC's sound card. Unfortunately you cannot specifiy which of several

Justin, I might think quite a few time Nuts have these. So making progress have build a gps sat message decoder for the GPRMC sentence that gives time and data. I believe most GPS units put that sentence out. Have it decoding time and next is date. Maybe tonight. Then I have to glue this code into

There are also a lot of GPS hockey pucks that send the NMEA codes to map software in a laptop that are rapidly becoming obsolete. NMEA is adequate for the 468 display. Have three of them, to go with three NIB (except for the manual) DC 468 receivers. Don't need any of them. Bill Hawkins

Well indeed progress the dc468 is now sync'ing to gps on start. Have a dirty fudge factor to get the seconds exactly synced. Don't like it but does work. Did try to use hex as a month indicator and that did not work. As an example Nov would be A and Dec B. But looking at the driver ckts its
