Insufficient.  Is it sending tim to SHM's?

The way you set it up, not the recommended way.  Not recmmended by
gpsd or NTPsec.

Uh, no.  Kinda sota derived from Bust, not Buster.  This repeated
confusion is why people keep running the wrong binaries and wondering
why they fail.

Gary,

You asked whether gpsd was running.  It is running.

I have systems where the serial port isn't available, so gpsd isn't 
installed on those systems.  Using a PPS feed with NTP is fine, and results 
in a substantial improvement.

NTPsec isn't in use here.

The current generation of the Raspberry Pi OS is derived from the Linux OS 
commonly known as Buster - a little more memorable and easier to remember 
than:

  4.19.97+ #1294 Thu Jan 30 13:10:54 GMT 2020 armv6l GNU/Linux
