On the other hand if you are using NTP you have no need for a clock that does better than about 1e-8. Anything better is wasted. NTP at best cares about microseconds, not nanoseconds. What I meant was that if you need to know the nuts and bolts of how NTP ref clocks work at the level of

I posted a patch for the Fury to work with ntpd in Oct 2008. It uses the GPGGA output. The PTIME:TCODE? command is not on-time with the 1-PPS output on the Fury, so the HPGPS driver does not work. http://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2008-October/033901.html the ntp-fury.diff:

Back in 2003 or so, in the Z3801A with hpgps ntpd refclock driver, I had to add a negative offset of -0.98 seconds to the driver's decoding of PTIME:TCODE? to get it to be right in combination with PPS refclock. The documentation in the Z3801A manual correctly described the actual behavior

The GPGGA sentence is on-time enough so that ntpd will work. You still have to set 'mindist' to something like 0.050. The driver will also query other interesting things from the Fury. The response from PTIME:TCODE? varied too much for ntpd to use it even with a large mindist.

I think the Fury does not guarantee that the PTIME:TCODE will be near the 1-PPS leading edge. When I tried it with the HPGPS driver and a net4501, ntpd wasn't happy with it. I also needed leap second processing to work, holdover notification, and to collect other data from it. The GPGGA

This isn't NMEA but many NMEA GPSes work just find and if you read the NMEA specifications the ascci data only has to be valid for the second in it is output. This allows for a random 0.... second offset. If your ref cock is bothered by a .999 second offset I'd argue the ref clock software
