[time-nuts] 10MHz LTE-Lite - PPS accuracy?

Time-nuts,
Is it a bad idea to have more than one PPS source on a single machine? Would this cause additional jitter when trying to compare the timestamps on two sources? I understand that USB can't deliver a real PPS, but what about using onboard serial ports or a PCI card?
Thanks,
Laszlo

I can get a /dev/ppsN but ppstest says time-out. I saw some hints that the USB DCD
might depend on the chipset . I don't like gpsd so I try to avoid it but I might try it.
Thanks.

I don't intend to use it in production.
