[time-nuts] NTP linked PC clock is slightly ahead of Lady Heather GPS time

[Rob Kimberley]

I'm using the Meinberg NTP Distribution here with their NTP Monitor prog on Win10-64, and two GPS NTP servers.

Config settings: -

   server 192.168.1.120 iburst minpoll 4 maxpoll 5
   server 192.168.1.121 iburst minpoll 4 maxpoll 5

Consistent sub millisecond results. I've also found that Win10 actually performs way better than Win7.

I have Win7-64 and my LH and system time are the same (with a very short delta of < 0.2s probably due to their respective window update time).
I use the Meinberg disturb of NTP. My client’s offset from the paris observatory is less than a millisec.

Maybe you should check your NTP status and see what offset you get from a known good source with ntpdate -b -d <name or IP>.
