I not sure, how should I write the ntp.conf file to achieve the maximum accuracy using pps.
i don't know  if the ntpd use the pps or not in my case!
Sometimes it is recognized as a "falseticker" (x) and sometimes it is OK(o) !!!

Try adding "tos mindist 0.02" to your config.

NMEA tends to wander around - the default mindist of 0.001 can result in what you see. You might try setting it even higher, and work your way down to a reliable minimum.

Hi

For several years I've used:
tos minsane 3
tos orphan 10
tos mindist 0.4

currently with PPS, NMEA, 2 x local pcs, 4 x local pool.ntp.org
servers and one remote source.

ntp-dev-4.2.7p444 on NetBSD-6/i386

 From the docs:
mindist mindistance
Specify the minimum distance used by the selection and anticlockhop algorithm. Larger values increase the tolerance for outliers; smaller values increase the selectivity. The default is .001 s. In some cases, such as reference clocks with high jitter and a PPS signal, it is useful to increase the value to insure the intersection interval is always nonempty.


I tested different ntp.conf and here are some results (ntp.conf and ntpq-p):
