Thanks all for the many many replies, (almost too many to count) both here and off-list, to my post about PC time being in error. After considering many, I have taken the advice of Mike DK3WN and Alan VE4YZ and performed the registry edit they both recommended. I have my PC now updating time once every hour, a 3600 second delta. So far, my PC time is no more than one second off compared to WWV time. I do not like messing with the windows registry, but in this case, it was sound advice. Tnx and 73,
