Hi,

Actually, most systems these days wants UTC rather than GPS time.

Cheers,

The CDMA world (and most systems) want GPS lock rather than UTC. The only real 
change is likely in the status messages. I strongly suspect that a “UTC locked” 
version will not send a double pps pulse (or drop one) at a leap second 
boundary …

I noticed on the Status screen that the Lucent unit said the PPS was
locked to GPS, not UTC, as the Z3801A is. So, I issued ":DIAG:GPS:UTC
1" and "TST?" to correct this.

But things are not as I expected. Displaying the clock for both
GPSDO's in Z38xx now shows them to be 17 seconds different, which is
of course the leap seconds.

This seems backwards. With both units set to UTC, why are they showing
different times?
