Someone that cares should roll the few important parts into gpsctl.
On my list, but not very high up.

Sure, at least it is a start. Mostly gpsctl just needs to know
the binary to send, and the gpsctl can frame it in a packet with
proper checksums.

What is the exact command that works for you? That could be added
to the gpsd venus init string.
Here are the Venus 6 Binary docs:
https://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/datasheets/Sensors/GPS/Venus/638/doc/AN0003_v1.4.19.pdf
IN the Windows program, I see "Set GPS Measurement Mode" and you set it
to "Sync to UTC Second when UTC Fix"
The message their Windows software sends is:
a0 a1 00 03 3e 01 01 3d 0a 0d
But when I look in the Venus 6 docs, the 3e seems to have to do with PPS
not measurement...
Nothing about 3e in the Venus 8 doc, but the Venus 8 ACKs that command.

Skytraq Binary mode is Venus Binary mode. Same thing.
