[time-nuts] NTP REFCLOCK for a Jackson Fury??

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 sentence is on-time even if you are asking the Fury
to do other things with SCPI commands. Try setting your Fury hpgps
driver fudge flag4 to 1 and I bet it will stop working well. This flag
logs the system:print output.
