gpsd sees something that looks like TSIP, so it switches to 8O1.

You seem to be doing the right things. To see more of what gpsd is
doing try running with -D4.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that your thunderbolt is running
with 8N1 rather than 8O1 as gpsd expects. I haven't come up with a
good way to make gpsd detect parity yet... I have a copernicus on the
way and it apparently uses 8N1 also, whereas my lassen iq does 8O1.
