My NTP server did a double 59 on the terminal. for anybody who is interested I captured the event : https://youtu.be/OpNci29CI7E I did measure an odd behaviour on leapsecond day from time-a.nist.gov NTP server usually it runs about 8 mS behind my local PPS but all the sudden went to +22 mS for most

Bob, I've used one for a simple 10 Mhz ref. They are 12 V, and indeed the VFC is +2.5V If you hold the OCXO upside down, the 2 pins at the top are GND and +12V Bottom 3 Pins -> 10 Mhz, unknown and VFC Frits W1FVB On 09/06/2015, Bob Stewart wrote: > Does anyone have any information about the Trim

I've noticed that on my RPI as well, Time stability improved greatly when connected to a simple and well cooled 7805 voltage regulator. My RPI (GPS PPS) runs at about +/- 2 uS on a somewhat medium CPU sytem load. Good enough for my needs. Frits On 5/24/15, Attila Kinali wrote: > On Wed, 13 May 2

Hi David, Yes, You mean the hourly dips? That is caused by the the VLF receive software that is running on the same PI. It makes hourly recordings of DC to 24 Khz with a USB soundcard. The CPU is running at max capacity most of the time. Perhaps it is now time for a dedicated PI, that only has the

Thanks for pointing this out David, Compiling an new kernel was holding me back. I followed your instructions and everything works beautiful. The PI that is running the PPS timekeeping with NTP is serving as a VLF receiver as well. Taxing the poor CPU, but with kernel PPS support the NTP daemon has

Recorded last night. Audio bandwidth is a few kHz, but as mentioned before the signal is about 20 kHz wide. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnp8zcpgw86l6ww/1910.wav?dl=0 This morning (14:21 UTC) nothing is heard Frits W1FVB Whitefield, NH On 12/8/14, John C. Westmoreland, P.E. wrote: > Hello, > > Ca
