[time-nuts] GPS message jitter (was GPS for Nixie Clock)

Interestingly enough, the Ublox LEA series of timing receivers has a USB port which you can connect directly to a USB cable.  Of course you want to use an ESD device, etc.

The USB interface timing is going to be buried deep, deep inside some 
microcontroller or ASIC. Imagine a FTDI part, for instance.  I can't 
imagine a GPS mfr caring enough about this to spend any money on trying 
to figure out how to do it.
