[Lowfer] Synchronization Software.

[Cliff Buttschardt]

Kurt, Scott and the group.  You might be interested in a piece of 
hardware that uses the one PPS time tick from a GPS for synchronization.
Tom Clark, W3IWI assembled some hardware in a system called "Totally 
Accurate Clock."  With it is a program called Showtime.  The system used 
a specific brand of Motorola GPS which now has become rather common and 
might well serve your purpose.    Cliff K7RR
