This information was provided by a user, I will beautify it a little but need to redo it on a Radarcape for that.

Setup for Chrony

Activate Chrony socket under Radarcape configuration menu:
Radarcape Settings -> General -> NTP Reference Clock Data
Publish time to socket for Chrony: Enabled (Socket: /var/run/chrony.radarcape.sock)
Publish time to shared memory for NTPD or Chrony: Enabled (SHM segment: 0)

Start the NTPD daemon using:

You should see the lines ".GPS." and ".PPS." in the output of "ntpq -4nc peers", and the word "kern" should be present in the output of an ntpq -c rv command:
