Re: GPS/PPM very large offset

[Mike Simpson]

Big. Sometimes 3s, sometimes 4s. B&A complaining of 5s. 

On my Pi when it was happening I noticed that the time offset field of cgps 
would jump about rapidly from 0.2s-0.4s to 3.something and ntpsec would state 
that both pps and gps were 3 seconds off. 

Removing GLONASS kept the cgps time offset at 0.something and corrected the 
time seen by ntpsec. 

Second time this has come up on the list with the ublox8.
