Hello Jacques,
what revision of the module do you have?
On adafruit's page, under "Downloads" tab
you can see that they use 3 different GPS units:
PA6B for first revision, built around an MT3329
PA6C for the second and PA6H for the third,
both with MT3339 chipset.
Where did you see the different jitter claims?
Globaltop's site has the most recent datasheets,
but you need to sign up and they dont contain much
info anyway:

Hello, while asking info about the FE5682,
I realized that for another project
(model plane data logging) I will buy
some cheap gps modules built around an
MT3339 chipset.
In my mind somewhere I stored the fact
that in the datasheet of these module
is mentioned the pps output, so I checked
and the manufacturer is claiming that it
has "High accuracy 1-PPS timing support
for Timing Applications (10ns jitter)"
This is the module I'm talking about:

http://www.alcom.be/binarydata.aspx?type=doc/GTop-FGPMMOPA6H-Datasheet-V0A.pdf
Has anybody used this chipset or similar for GPSDO?
I have no experience with discipled oscillators
but if there is any hope that the pps out
of these modules is good for the task maybe
it's time for me to start reading more about
the subject.
The final goal will be to check the timing
of the Rb I have around.
Thanks,
Fabio.

Hello TNutters,
I did some test with this module from Adafruit
(http://www.adafruit.com/products/746) and it seems not a bad unit.
Tested it together
with my TBolt and the PPS seems quite stable most of the time, I did
not do any logging and math on the result,
just letting the TBolt trigger the scope and apart from the cable
offset I guess 80% of the time the module was
within 10 to 15 ns.
However the specs are not very clear and it is a typical chip for
mobile use in eg. carnav stuff. I also saw some
other specs where the jitter was specified as 100ns. and even one
with a 1 microsec. so I'm a little confused.
As soon as I have some time I plan to connect this module to a
BeagleBone and do some testing for an NTP server
I think the Beagle is better for this than the RaspBerry because of
the "real" ethernet port.
Greetz,
