Dunno, Bill. I did the NIST setup last Fall, to a timebase server in Colorado, I think. Seems to me you could set PC clock to local time and sync to NIST, inputting the time zone delta at setup, but I have not looked into it. Time zone ID would assure date is always correct.

I also keep my computers on local time. I use them for other things besides radio. DXB and Writelog both make the UTC conversion automagically. Wonder if he's using the automatic time syncing? Would having a computer set to Monrovia and then syncing with NIST confuse the date portion of the sync? ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Harlem, W1EBI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 18, 2003 10:05 AM Subject: RE: SV: [DXBase] date problem > I prefer and use LA7QI's method.
