How would Chrony cope with being fed a config file listing 2,000 server
entries..?

.....Just asking...

Hmm, well that is a good deal higher!

The message on the gpsd list suggested that skytraq themselves offer the
GLONASS hybrid chipset for $70 and an evaluation board for $100
including USB and active antenna?  Seems like an awfully good price on
the eval board, but ...

For sure this is more than $30, but I had expected the non Glonass chip
to be a chunk lower?

Anyway, certainly the Sure board is quite a bargain!
