[ntp:questions] timing issue with a HP 58534A

[Mark C. Stephens]

This is probably the wrong question to ask, but anyway, I have flag1 1 for refclock 20 in my config.

Under freebsd how do I verify it is using PPS timestamps?


Many thanks,
Mark

Glad to hear it.

Assuming the quality indicator in clockstats is 0, that sounds like a bug in ntp-dev's refclock_nmea.c, which was substantially rewritten compared to the 4.2.6p5 code.  I just reviewed it and by my reading it should be rejecting 0 and accepting anything else.  Please file a bug report if that's not what you see with 4.2.7.
