Thanks guys....
I think I got a little confused because I had downloaded some of Ubicom's doc's which, as Kramer pointed out, are somewhat over-worded...at least for me!! haha

My first task for the SX is this:
I have a couple of precip gauges (hot plate evap-type sensors) that time stamp their data.
Their clocks drift a little and for precise comparisons to radar data and other precip data, they need to have their fairly accurate.
You set the time on the 2 separate instruments with a proprietary Windows program via a serial port.
This works fine, but since you have to program them one at a time, the time is off. 
So, if I could have an SX read the time from a GPS and then set the time on both instruments in 'near' dual realtime....I'd be a champ! haha

Well that's the goal.
A stamp would probably work fine....but it seemed like a good opportunity to learn the SX!
