It’s been a while (years), and at the time it was pure NTP (no gpsd involved).  Whatever the sentences were that were pushing it over didn’t happen very close together.  I seem to remember that one was reporting if it was using the external vs. internal antenna and that would probably have been a $PMTK sentence.  I was using an external antenna.  When I use it with gpsd, is gpsd “aware” of that chipset and turning some sentences off ($PMTK)?

Thanks,
