Dean,

RouterOS supports being an NTP client, on the command line you'd find it under /system ntp client ...

I have a Stratum 1 server running on HamWAN at 44.24.255.3, and you're welcome to use it if you like.

As for the software versions, 6.1 is fairly old at this point, did you mean 6.10? As for the firmware, generally whatever the latest is, is fine. It doesn't make much difference as far as the features are concerned.

FYI:  I of course followed the instructions to upgrade the OS to v6.1 before I did anything.  However, when I clicked on "RouterBoard" in WinBox, I found that I was running firmware (which is of course "different") v3.02, and v3.12 was available.  I did the upgrade (no separate download needed), with no observable effects.

I sure wish this thing had a decent scheme to get the date/time from somewhere.  Even a reboot (required by the firmware upgrade), resets the clock.  I may try my hand at a script, but without setting the clock on each boot, the log timestamps are completely useless.  Not to mention that the log appears to be cleared on each boot.  Ugh.  I think there's a way to send the log transactions to a server, and that will be useful ...

Gotta go, be back this evening ...
