Surfing around the web I found this old reference:
ftp://aleph.gsfc.nasa.gov/GPS/totally.accurate.clock

Now it is quite obvious that we can use gps units to sync our clocks
to . The question now is,  does anyone in this group have any experience
in using something like a Garmin GPS, Motorola Oncore , TAC to provide
a stable, accurate clock?

If I am not mistaken from anywhere to $150 to $300 for a GPS unit we should 
be to get timing clock signals accurate from  50 to 100 nano seconds.
