Dear fellow nuts,
I plan to build a decent GPS/GNSS-based Stratum 1 NTP server, and I'm
looking for a good and possibly affordable timing GPS receiver.

Am I overlooking something or missing interesting options?

============================================
Paride,
As Mark notes, you don't need a timing precision GPS receiver for NTP, a
standard position GPS receiver is quite good enough providing it has a PPS
output. If you're thinking Raspberry Pi, there are some ready-made modules
such as:

Stephen mentioned the newer series-8 ublox modules. These are indeed
excellent (and can receiver Galileo too), but a number of vendors
advertising series-8 modules (on both eBay and Amazon) are using remarked
series 5 or 6 chips without the series-8 functions. Use the ublox u-center
program to check anything you buy. From Amazon, at least, I got an
immediate refund.
