"D" is a mess.  Inconsistently used across receiver models.  Sometimes
it means using WAAS, sometimes NTRIP, sometimes never shown no matter what.

Most consister "A" and "D" equivalent.  If you need better data, don't
use NMEA.

Such as?  the gpsio_pps has always been weird.

I'm sure it matter for something, but unrelated to NMEA.

Your HAT matters.  I see Adafruit dropped the price (now $30) and changed
the chip to an MT3333 (GPS + GLONASS).  I hope you have the MT3333
instead of the MT3339 (GPS only).  Either way, not a very sensitive
chip.

I'm pretty sure the MT333x do not support RTK, so the D would prolly
mean with WAAS.
