Guys,
Apparently, the serial port driver on both Ultra 1 and Blade 1500 are
jiggered so that, if you enable the PPSAPI, the jitter goes away, even
if the PPS is not actually connected. Away means a couple of hundred
microseconds, but that is expected. It was several tens of milliseconds
to over a second. With PPS the Ultra 1 (pogo) is nominally 20
microseconds jitter.
That's a relief.
