Thanks guys.  This is getting interesting.

$ dmesg|grep tsc

I guess I can't go with TSC on this hardware.

Generally, for now, what I'm asking is...  If NTPd is managing the radio
and slewing with the PPS, the PTP daemon (ptp4l) will be taking time
from the same system source?  Granted, PTP time is not the same as Unix
time, and maybe I'm not understanding the use of the phc2sys utility?

Probably a better question for the linuxptp group.
