Gack, known broken.

Wow, those are crazy expensive for what you get.

Just because it uses USB does not mean it does not have PPS over USB.

The u-blox doc I looked at does not say it does, or does not, support
that.  If it does ot, it is a one wire change to the board.

Unrelated.  You can have PPS without KPPS.

But what is it hooked to?  Do you have a /dev/ppsX ?  Did you check
the control signals on the /dev/tty?

Really?  What?

You should not need to get outside with a NEO-7.  Nor do you even 
need a signal into the GPS for gpsd to connect to the GPS.
