Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Waiting too much time for the GPS to be synchronized

I think you need to put the antenna outside.

In my situation, I put the antenna on the balcony.

It usually takes me only several minutes to get an accurate time (diff<0.000001).

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] Waiting too much time for the GPS to be synchronized

 

Hi,

 

I have two USRPs with GPS equipped. I found it always took too much for the two GPS to be sychronized to the same time (diff < 0.00001s). 

Previously, I wait about 1 or 2 hours, but today 10 hours later, they still have time difference of 5s.

 

I am using GPS indoor  environment.

If you're in a situation (indoors) where you can't get GPS on your SmartPhone, you're not going to get it on the GPSDO.  The GPS L1 signal
  isn't very strong, and doesn't propagate very well through concrete walls and low-E windows.  You really want an outdoor antenna.
