[ntp:questions] Doubt about Syncronization of GPS SPECTRACOM(2)

[Marcos Onisto]

Hello All,

My doubt is about how can I consult my SPECTRACOM(2)? What the correct
way? I only can consult using the command ntpq or I can use de command
ntpdate with the serial port (127.127.4.2)? follow below:

# ntpdate -qd 127.127.4.2
28 Feb 17:04:10 ntpdate[1090]: ntpdate 3-5.93e Mon Sep 20 15:45:30 PDT 1999 (1)

Tks a lot,
