That is what we are working on.

BOB and JOHAN (KC7WW) have a DOS version up running and are refining 
it. You do need a GPS with a 1 PPS output in addition 
tostandard  NEMA output (time variances on many GPS NEMA outputs make 
the 1 PPS necessary)    Bob has worked out a reasonable stand alone 
program to insert into the DSP-10.  He might release it as a Stand 
alone DOS but work is still needed to make it stand alone reasonably.

The Axiom Sandpiper is such a GPS engine with 1 second PPS and is 
available on E-Bay for 18 bucks + 5 shipping.  It works and sure is 
cheap.  We have about 6 out scattered around out here with people 
working on the problem. Of course the UT+ we use in the Frequency 
standard does very nicely ( at a binay level) and  we have included 
it in the DOS Program.  I use WE alot, but Bob is doing all the work.

KC7WW and myself  (W7CQ) have been working on a switching arrangement 
to switch the computer serial port between the DSP-10 and and the GPS 
and have that area working.

It will all be available soon as Beta Testing is Done.  The DOS 
version Stand alone is still being discussed.
