Since I run mostly digital eme (JT65) my computer time accuracy needs
are pretty strick (<1 second). For years I used dimension 4 and
switched to BktTimeSync (from IZ2BKT) last four years to utilize GPS
time using a cheap USB dongle GPS unit.
BktTime can sync to NTP off the Internet or from a GPS. Or have both
running. I run with NTP turned off and GPS Sync on startup so I do
not need an Internet connection. I have another computer for
Internet/e-mail/loggers, etc.
Just booted the computer and got an update of 1.903000 seconds. Next
sync shifted time -0.027000 seconds. I have it set for sync every
ten minutes which keeps time within about 0.2 seconds which is more
than adequate for synchronous digital modes (like JT65 or FT8).
I do not use the clock in my K3 so rarely update it. Logging is
manual using computer time.
