You can actually.

so can be out by 10's of seconds.
Using the free Meinberg NNTP software
https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm you can alter the
synchronisation interval to any time.


I think you mean NTP, not NNTP!

Yes, I use the Meinberg stuff and have for a long time. I run my own
stratum 3 NTP servers anyway.
