[time-nuts] New GNSS chipsets

[Joseph Gray]

Magnus,

When I can buy one of these new, multi-frequency receivers, I'll remember
to thank you :-) I wonder if any of the three will be available this year.
The Broadcom chipset in phones will be nice, but I'd also like a standalone
module from anyone. More fun stuff to play with.
