[time-nuts] USB Low Cost GPS Timing Receiver

[Bill Hawkins]

Brooke,

Google says the SD-200 speaks 4800 baud NMEA at 1 second intervals.

It is not clear whether the message is fixed of if it will reply
to queries.

Your question only concerned cost. Is one second accuracy adequate?

Hi:

A friend is looking for a low cost GPS receiver to set the clock in the
computer that controls his telescope mount.  USB would be nice but is not
a requirement.

For example does eBay item 130456356506 set the computer clock?

This GPS receiver for the Nikon has a mini-USB connector, but when
connected to my computer is not recognized.

Have Fun,
