Hi
If you want to see NMEA sentences in gpsmon, kill gpsd using sudo killall gpsd
Then run gpsmon specifying the serial interface gpsmon /dev/serial0
You should be able to see the HDOP value, this is a good indication of accuracy;

For the second GPS, if HDOP is between 0.5-1.2.. seeing other GNSS will not improve the accuracy greatly.
If the HDOP is really high.. then check these two items;
-switch is set to Ext for external antenna. (I assume you already have this set)
-If using external antenna which uses SMA-uFl adapter.. make sure all screws ands nuts, especially on the back of the SMA connector, are tight
You could also try a more aggressive reset which resets the entire module
echo -e -n "\xb5\x62\x06\x04\x04\x00\xff\xff\x01\x00\x0e\x61" > /dev/serial0
You can also use U-Center to see what exactly is happening.
