Re: [chrony-users] PPS-only PHC refclock

[Bill Unruh <unruh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would certainly improve the time differences, but would presumably not
change the accuracy of the absolute time. That would be the accuracy of your
(inital) ntp absolute time. So it would depend on what it was that you wanted
the accuracy for.
