Greg, that's understandable. I don't use the PPS output from these boxes so that isn't really a concern for me. Besides being a NTP
server for my little network I use the IRIG signal to feed to an old NTS-100, which in turn converts UTC time to local 12 hr time
for my IRIG clocks. Even though the NTS-100 is very old (you have to set "version 3" explicitly if you want modern NTP to recognize
it), it's very customizable in relation to daylight savings start/end and 12/24 hr display. :)

If the TS-2100's were my only time servers, I probably wouldn't even mess with it because the time is so close, certainly better
than what could be achieved syncing over the Internet.

I think an offset of -4000 on the ts2100 seems to be pretty close to my other time servers.
