[time-nuts] Ublox 6T receiver, noisy PPS.

[Azelio Boriani]

I have noticed the sudden improvement of the PPS wander after the
survey on a LEA-5T but the RMS wander is 30ns (see the timing appnote
GPS.G6-X-11007 from uBlox) uncorrected and 15ns if sawtooth corrected.
Your 3ns is strange, not the 30ns.
