[AusNOG] GPS timesource

[Greg]

I use a KT2000 GPS SNTP Timeserver(<$500) at work for a core router..

I know there are way better units on the market, but bang for buck for 
reasonable time accuracy it does the job.

 From a hobbyist's perspective. I'v been toying with  the idea to 
utilize an Arduno board with a GPS & Network shield and write or adapt 
some S/NTP code.. Should be do-able for around $100(less on ebay!), but 
time and effort on the code will be the painful bit..

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoEthernetShield

and end up with something that may look like :
