Eugen,

Are you using the PPS driver (22)? If so, look at the relative offset 
between the serial timecode and PPS signal. If it is more than a few 
milliseconds, use the fudge time1 option to move the serial timecode 
offset close to the PPS signal. Or, see the tos mindist option on 
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/manyopt.html.
