MLAT, GPS and NTP on Raspberry Pi

I tried to search for answers before posting, but found none.

I have just updated my feeding RPi to the latest version after running an older one for two years. This time I used one of my Raspberry Pi's that has a GPS receiver which I use in order to have (at least one) Stratum 1 NTP server at home.

In the /etc/fr24feed.ini file I found a setting for MLAT regarding whether to attempt MLAT without a GPS or not. I changed it to "no". Will this, as I hope, mean that the FR24 software will automatically detect the GPS unit and use it for an "auto survey" to determine its location?

OK, checking the logs (/var/log/fr24feed.log) answers one part of my question: [gps][w]Could not connect to the GPS receiver. My GPS device is /dev/gps0 and since this box is also acting as a Stratum 1 NTP server I would prefer not to use or install gpsd. Any hints on how to make the fr24feed software aware of the GPS receiver?
