[ntp:questions] Jitter on $GPGGA of Sure board

[Ron Frazier (NTP)]

I'm curious.  Are you outputting ONLY GPGGA, or other sentences as 
well.  Other sentences will increase jitter.  I'm getting about 5 ms of 
jitter on my USB based BU-353 outputting GPGGA only at 9600 baud.  I'll 
be testing the Sure board once I get it.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, don't be concerned.
I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.  If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
