Hello Sir Unrah,
I just use ntpq -p. I am using Dave Harts rather excellent port to windows:
C:\Program Files\NTP\bin>ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*GPS_NMEA(1) .GPS. 0 l 1 16 377 0.000 -0.139 0.059
oPPS(1) .PPS. 0 l - 16 377 0.000 -0.007 0.002
I restarted ntpd a couple of hours ago so these number will improve.
That is a good question, are we talking seconds for offset and jitter here?
Mark

Not sure what you mean when you say you get offset of .010 (I assume the units a ms, not sec) Ie, what are you using to determine the offset?
For nmea and offset of .02 sec is not unreasonable, so maybe you are
