The Mac can be quite difficult to keep accurately time syncd using NTP, as it doesn’t always check the time from the best server and many other little snags like not checking very often sometimes. If you have a reasonably modern version of the Mac OS then add some other NTP servers for your region to the Date & Time preferences, after the standard Apple one, separated by a comma. For example just add: 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org after whatever Apple has chosen. In Europe I use time.euro.apple.com, 1.uk.pool.ntp.org, 2.uk.pool.ntp.org Please use your own region's ntp pool Uncheck "Set date and time automatically" and recheck it, it should update it. Open a terminal window and type ntpq -p You will get a list of the servers and their offsets (in ms) as well as other nerdy stuff. You will notice that NTP slowly drift corrects the clock. It only polls slowly so you have to be patient, but the good thing is it should learn. Hope that helps 73 David GM4JJJ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
