Hi timekeepers, If someone were to determine inexpensive GPS and radio clock receivers (and perhaps also an OCXO) of decent quality, I wonder how many Europeans would be interested of participating in a bulk order?
It might be useful to have e.g. both DCF77 and MSF60 receivers as fallbacks for GPS time. These three time sources could be connected to two serial ports. (Port 0: RxD for GPS data, DCD for PPS[0]; port 1: DCD and CTS for the two radio clocks[1]). An example GPS receiver (of unknown quality) with a PPS output: [2] It would be nice to get enough people to order to drive the price down. It would also be nice to find someone with the expertise to determine an optimal set of components for this. (Someone should also organize the whole ordeal.) And obviously it would be fun to run your own stratum 1 server. :-) [0]: http://wiki.enneenne.com/index.php/LinuxPPS_NTPD_support#Installation_2 [1]: http://www.buzzard.me.uk/jonathan/radioclock.html [2]: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9133 Regards, -- Jοhan Kiviniemi http://johan.kiviniemi.name/ _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
