Enough of what?

Remind me never to give you help when you ask.

You gave no information in your original posting-- neither information
oabout your system or your ntp setup. All he did was ask for that
information and yhou blow up.

You were asking for help. I suspect if someone had replied "yes, I have
this receiver and it is working" you would have blown up as well.

Good reason.

Ah, so it was not just a question about other people's setups--
you wanted help as well.

He did have something positive. He pointed out to you that you need to
give information if you want useful help.

I am glad you got it working on your own. Certainly this response is an
example of how to get help from others.
