and no, there is no internal gpsdo. ;)

i am not a software developer,... i am an rf enthusiast which is playing
with dragon os, a distro for sdr.

the application i want to start is Crocodilehunter. all is running fine,
but the gps can't get no fix so the application is breaking.

i think it has to do with the communication between usrp and pll-gpsdo.
