You would adjust the 0.5 offset by 0.148, I'm not sure in which
direction. The goal is to have a smaller offset in the sourcestats
output. But it's not very important as long as the PPS refclock can
"lock" to the NMEA.

If the clock is not too far, that should happen pretty quickly,
few minutes at most.
If the initial offset of the system clock is large (e.g. the board has
no RTC or battery), you might want to add something like "makestep 1.0
1" to the config, so chronyd is allowed to step the clock if the first
measured offset is larger than 1 second.
