those sources would have 1 secondes max offset (i guess) . you won't even notice

The PDC emulator syncs to the naval observatory and the device in question
will sync to GPS. How far off would these 2 sources have to be to cause
issues on my domain?

Hello,

at the end, if all computers are exactly at the same time (atomic clock),
there isn't any issue.

Issues about time start when there is more than 5 minutes lag (kerberos
replay protection)
It may also make debug harder if there is more than 30 seconds lags.

The goal is to get everyone at the same time, and the good time is event
better !
