Yes and no... the utility will sync time with whatever computer/laptop that is running the utility... The accuracy of the computer is independent of the utility.
This is what I am currently doing... I have an NTP client running that is keeping my laptop to within a few milliseconds.... Periodically, I shut down Win4K3 Suite and crank up the K3 Utility, and sync the time... It's a bit fidgety... don't always get a good sync... So the radio is never more accurate than the computer, and seldom matches the computer on sync to less than 1/10th of a second or so best case... luck of the draw/random as to how close the sync ends up... RIght now, not a big deal... but on some of the digital modes, I am given to understand that having the time sync pretty close is key to function... 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 8/28/2016 12:43 PM, Dauer, Edward wrote: > Doesn’t the K3 Utility have a one-click process for setting the K3’s on-board > clock time to UTC Internet time?
