I got it from the GPSD Time Service HOWTO [ https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/gpsd-time-service-howto.html ].  It says:

"ntpd seems to better use a PPS refclock when the polling interval is as small as possible. The ntpd default minpoll is 6, and can be set to as low as 4. NTPsec versions 0.9.5 and above of ntpd allow you to set minpoll and maxpoll as low as 0. Changing minpoll from 4 to 0 may reduce your PPS jitter by over a factor of 4.”

I will remove the maxpoll and minpoll directives from my ntp.conf and see how things go without them.
