David, Thanks for the update. The spikes I'm experiencing coincides with the time when there are 3 or less visible satellites, as predicted by the Trimble Planning software. = I'm glad that's resolved, Gabs. I have seen similar spikes on my system

Dan, Good place to ask indeed! First, the spec is usually done in 1-sigma (rms) meaning about 68% of the pulses will be better than that. Nothing is usually specified about the remaining 32% of the pulses, so they could be 200ns apart, and still meet spec. Its all a question of statistics. Se

The GPS system was designed to transfer time anywhere in the world (and for navigation, of course) and so your answer is yes. If the GPS receiver is a timing grade unit then you can expect under 100nS accuracy (to UTC) and stability over time of the PPS. On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 8:49 PM, Dan Kemppa

[time-nuts] Timing between two GPS PPS outputs.

Hi all, I've been following this list with some interest, and have a question about two individual timing GPS units PPS outputs. Let's assume that the timing GPS units are identical units, say two SSR-6t's for example. If I take these two units and fire them up next to each other off of the
