I think I found my PPS issue. I'm using Debian and I found a blurb on worldtimesolutions.com website with a step by step run through on configuring the kernel. At the top of their post, they say you need PPS on a different com port. Ack!!!
URL: http://www.worldtimesolutions.com/support/ntp/Debian_Lenny_Linux_PPS_support_for_ntpd.html Enabling ntpd PPS support for Debian Lenny Linux The following procedure takes the standard pre-built Debian kernel and rebuilds it with PPS (pulse per second) support for ntpd. This allows you to utilise a low cost gps serial time antenna to turn your existing Debian Linux server into an economical stratum 1 ntp network time source. (Please note that in this configuration, the pps data and serial time and date data should be supplied to the Linux server on different com ports. Alternate linuxpps patch / kernel versions may fix this issue). >> You could be doing much better if you got the PPS working as well. >> Note >> that the reach is zero.
