I have also run ppstest, and show a pps stream, granted the weird thing is
it seems like I get two lines of the same output ever second so not sure
what is up there.

One is clear changing, the other is assert changing.

There should be info in syslog or whereever you redirect ntpd's logging to.

Let's take the detailed discussion off list.  We can send a summary when we
get things sorted out.

A common error is to have pps flipped. The leading edge should fall on the second. Fix it with a NOT gate or in a configure file

No need to add inverter latency.

ppstest says the 'assert is the right edge.  Just use that edge.

gpsd autodetects the proper PPS edge.  Excapt on RasPi where you
use a kernel config to use the other edge.

ntpd by default uses the assert edge, which is the case here.  It can
be told in the ntp.conf file to use the clear edge instead.
