Has anyone thought about the fact that verticals converge towards the centre of the earth? The surface distance is greater than the distance at a depth. A map distance is made less, a few hundred metres underground. Just another thought, Cheers, Neville Michie

I removed the SRS PRS-10 oscillator from my unit for examination. The 1PPS output appears on Pin #5 (See page 19 of the manual) and is not connected to the 2700. It appears the 2700 does not rely on the PRS-10 alone for timing information; it tracks and aggregates available sources.

Kevin, Thanks for all the information re: the internal wiring. It sounds like the 1 PPS output that was tested must be somewhere on the board, even if it isn't used. In looking at the test data, it appears that the boards were tested before final assembly. I am inferring this from the fact

A good friend, who has written a lot of excellent real-time software, maintains that that it is impossible to find all of the systematic errors in something as complex as the GPS system. The error is small, 60 ns in 2.4 ms, about 3 E-5, for OPERA or 8 E-5 for MINOS. Has anyone measured the speed

Hi Bill: Are they using GPS directly, or to discipline a high quality oscillator, say a Cs? Since it's frequency is spot on then all the GPS is doing is setting the edge of the 1 PPS. The difference between the Cs 1 PPS and GPS 1 PPS can be measured over a day or more to see what it looks

Keep in mind that a common view or LOS light method will have a problem with the variability of the medium density along the path being unknown. You could do it in a vacuum however. I come back to the base question of 'since the speed of light varies depending on the medium, does the speed of the
