Yes, you are right added 'fudge time2 -0.5'

[root@NTP ~]# ntpq -p

How do I check if ntpd is using PPS pulse?

I still have to check the PPS pulse with a scope .

It appears despite my claim, fudge time2 -0.525 or so is needed for NMEA to 
properly associate the PPS with the correct second.  Moreover, you're running 
into the "man with two watches never knows what time it is" problem -- there's 
no tiebreaker if there's disagreement.  Add more network sources, and/or 
"noselect" all sources except NMEA, at least until you get NMEA behaving well.

Cheers,
Dave Hart
