Having NMEA offset close to zero, or leaving it at 350 ms, is there a 
difference 
how it affects the system clock if the pps pulse is working?

You are right; I forgot to point that I have set clocks to "true",
otherwise they would become falsetickers which now makes sense given the large 
offset NMEA+PPS are only sources are available.
I'll try 'tos mindist' later and see what happens.

Next thing to figure out is when I restart ntpd, the PPS offset goes back to 
-350 ms and ntpd starts adjusting it to zero (and NMEA offset goes up to ~350 
ms. 
That seems to take hours. It looks like the system clock runs away as soon as 
ntpd stops.
