Hi!

Just added another GPS receiver (Trimble Acutime Gold) to the group of my
local NTP servers

Just wondering what is the expected offset for a stratum 1 server as
10.0.2.3 and 10.0.2.4 are always under 5 us but this server (with Trimble
Acutime Gold) wanders a bit. The server has been turned on for 2 days now
so I guess it is stable. Additionally the room has AC and the temperature
is always around 22 ºC (I have a monitoring system the records the
temperature every minute and it wanders between 21 and 23).

Any ideas?

Regards,
Miguel
