Prefer the PPS source?

GPS time is usually only second relative without the PPS,

  on non timing GPSes.

   always seems to wander around 20ms to 50ms.


NTP doesn't let me prefer the PPS source (ATOM). I'm forced to prefer some other source and let PPS activate on its own.

When atom driver was working reliably I had both type-20
and type-22 drivers specified, the type-20 NMEA gave the
"second" and PPS sync was from type-22 atom.

Because of the wander of the nmea value it was also
required that I had "tos mindist 0.5"  and  used a large
fudge time for the nmea. Both required values depended on
the particular make and firmware revision of the GPS unit.
