The short answer is "probably." At my home station I feed the one pulse per
second output from one of my GPS units into a "time server" which connects to
my Ethernet network. In turn my computers can use the time server as a highly
accurate time source. All plug and play using equipment sourced via eBay.
There is a "time nuts" mailing list where these issues are discussed in more
detail.
All that being said in my portable / rover station I've found occasionally
setting my Laptop clocks while listening to wwv is more than accurate enough
while running modes such as JT65 and MSK144, but I realize some people want the
best possible solution to a give issue.
