Which is why I asked what your other chimers say.  If you have
a chimer without 30 milliSec of you that is usuually good enough to 
check your edge.

To disabiguate 'late' I assume you mean the NMEA timestamp fractional
seconds is for later in tthe second, not zero.

Yes, that is expected.  You need to tetll the Skytrazzq to force the
top of the second, and save to flash.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'way out'.

You should be within +/- 150 milliSec if you start with the right
fudge.  The NMEA not being at the top of the second should not
affect that at all.

Your ntpshmmon it misleading you.  It is corrypted by a bug, that is
now fixed.  Rerun with the ntpshmmon which is now in git hear.
