I would suggest removing the external S1 servers from the
configuration to see if their relatively wide range of offsets is a
contributing factor.  If the PPS is still excluded as a falseticker.

I believe both of the above lines are ignored by your recent 4.2.7
ntpd.  There should be syntax errors in syslog at each ntpd startup
confirming that.

Like Mr. Taylor, I would also suggest minpoll 4 for both the Oncore
and the PPS, and I note the # shmpps comment is out of date (it's the
PPS/ATOM driver).

Also, this isn't the best list for the discussion.  If the above
suggestions don't help, please consider posting to
[email protected] a similar message describing the modified
configuration as a starting point (no external servers, minpoll 4 on
the refclocks).

Cheers,
Dave Hart
