did you notice that the demo site is called "red herring" - something
is fishy about this whole setup.

> I hope the guy selling them, is whoever has worked out how to do that.   I'd hate to think somone else has put a lot of time and effort into doing that, and is getting ripped off.   Wonder too just how accurate it is, using a USB based (non PPS) GPS?

>From the product's webpage: "The NTS1-GPS time source provides a time
reference derived from the reception of NMEA data from the USB GPS
receiver. It does not contain a pulse-per-second (PPS) kernel nor
high-stability oscillators. The NTS1-GPS is not designed nor intended
for use in application where high-precision high-stability UTC time is
required. Position information is provided by the NTS1-GPS for
reference only"
