I'd be interested in the detailed comparison.

Cool.  What version gpsd?  From where?

Version 3.23 is out now.  

Versions 3.20 to #.22 will fail on 23 October 2021.

Yes, normal.

Yes, normal.

You realize the -r maybe psuedo-NMEA?  Nor real NMEA.  I really need the
"superraw" from "-R" to see what is happening.

Got any doc you can share on that one?

I'm guessing the GA201, which would be an illegal gnssid:svid combination
is what you want us to see?

No idea on that.  To debug I need the output of:

        gpspipe -R -x 20 > raw.log

"same" as what? u-blox, and NMEA 0183, documents many inconsistent PRN
numbering schemes that are user selectable.

Newr gpsd prefers the newer gnssId:svId:sigId scheme.
