Anyone know if the Serial DB-9 port on a T-Bolt can provide us with GPS clock time for a dual purpose? We use the 10 MHz now to create a TCXO replacement in a VHF radio (makes for good simulcast clock lock so they are all on channel) but now we need to synchronize the rest of the system using store-and-forward of our TCP packets and make everything on time. That needs real GPS clock time and we don't want to buy another GPS RX for each location. Can we get both signals from one T-Bolt? Robert L.

Yes it is easy to set up. The Thunderbolt users the "Palisade" NTP reference clock driver. Then of course NTP will keep all your systems running on the same time. It sounds like maybe you were going to invent your own network based time sync system? Don't do that.
