Hi gang,
I'm still headed towards getting a Stratum 1 NTP server up and going.
From what I've learned so far, higher quality PPS signals aren't going
to do a lot for me if my server has a wiggy clock. That makes perfect
sense. Now I just have to figure out how to get a good clock into my
server a la the soekris clock-block approach.
So what do people recommend for somebody working on a small budget?
It looks like Efratom Rubidium standards are available on ebay, but the
going rate looks like about $200, which is a bit much for me.
I also see that HP 10544As are available on ebay for a lot less,
probably under $100. I guess I could put it in a well insulated box and
discipline it using my Garmin and a Reflock (I do need to learn how to
work with CPLDs...).
Thanks for any suggestsions,
- Robert Sexton
