Nope. Both far exceed your ability to follow their PPS.
Not that I have a need (other than a nerdy desire) for anything more precise for logging, home, lab use, but I’m not using a SoC/Pi. This is running on my lightly loaded FW/router with an Intel CPU & real serial port under FreeBSD (if any of that matters):

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.
I’m currently using this antenna from Ublox on a circular steel plate ground plane:

The F9P, F9T and D9S support L5. Check out the u-blox line card:

Doesn’t surprise me, but I wonder about the price, and I haven’t seen
any breakout boards or pucks that includes those versions.
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.
