Hey Miroslav,
thank you for the explanation. If the switch will happen eventually
(once the estimated error got big enough) that behaviour is good for my
purpose.
Does the refclock parameter "precision" have an influence on how soon
the gps is considered better than the offline servers?
I have it set to "precision 1e0" at the moment. Would you recommend a
different setting?
Greetings
Henrik
