This might be slightly off-topic but I don=E2=80=99t know a better place to = ask. For the past two years I have been running chrony on a Raspberry Pi=20 which is connected to an Adafruit Ultimate GPS GNSS module via USB and=20 PPS. The Pi acts as time server for my router and its WDS nodes (all of=20 them running chrony, too). I also poll other NTP servers but for=20 information only. I monitor last offset and frequency for all devices=20 via InfluxDB, telegraf and grafana. The setup is usually running w/o any=20 issues with the offset on the Pi not exceeding 500 ns. However, every now and then there is a series of days during which in=20 the evening hours the offset jumps to 200 ms. After about 4-5 hours the=20 distortion disappears and the values reduce to the usual level. The=20 current episode started 13 days ago. The previous occured in November=20 2024. I thought about GPS jamming and checked the map on the=20 flightradar24 website. The affected areas are at least 100 km away and=20 have been there for months. Have you encountered a similar issue? Do you have any suggestions how I=20 could find the reason for the distortion?
