I looked too quickly.  I failed to notice the "replacement" in the
URL.  I hate it when I search for a specific model and something else is
shown.  I was focusing on ensuring PPS was available.

Even worse are all the u-blox counterfits.  Gotta be careful in the
innertubes.

The ATGM336H is not a good as a u-blox NEO-M8N, but not a lot worse.
ntpviz will show a small difference, but that small difference is
lost when you send NTP over ethernet.

Here is a nice NEO-M8N with SMA antenna connect and PPS for $15:
