For our buoy deployments we have GPS and a highly accurate oscillator

longer
periods we see both the GPS and PPS being marked as false tickers....
I did try setting minclock and minsane, to two and one respectively,
but
this did not seem to change the situation.
Try adding "tos mindist 0.015" to your ntp.conf. This widens the
correctness interval used by the clock selection algorithm. Basically,
it accommodates the jitter in the serial NMEA stream. 0.01 is another
commonly used value, but you may want more or less. It should be as
small as possible while providing reliable operation.
From the docs ( http://www.cis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/prefer.html ):
"the prefer peer can still be discarded by the intersection algorithm
as a falseticker. To avoid this, it is usually wise to increase the
mindist option of the tos command from the default .005 s to something
like .05 s."
