Nope.  Both far exceed your ability to follow their PPS.

Prolly not.  If you look in the archives, I used the ublox SPAN
feature to test a bunch of antennas.  I could find no correlation
between what they said they were, and what they did.  Some L2 only ones
where fine at all bands.  Some L1/L2/L5 ones barely did L5.

Spark fun changes often, I have an F9P and F9T from them.  The GNSS
receiver market is bette than during COIVD, but still a mess.
