Gordon, One thing to note here: if your computer's real time clock is losing more than a second per week then something is seriously wrong with it!
As an aside, I would also strongly recommend not using the default time sources that are recommended by Windows - the most reliable ones out there are 0.pool.ntp.org and 1.pool.ntp.org - the NTP pool provided there will remove a server that drifts by even a microsecond. Microsoft even advises not using their time servers for time-critical applications. At a previous job I worked in a data centre. Our server OSs used the basic Windows NTP client, syncing with our own time server (which had multiple sync sources itself), and despite only syncing once a week, none of the database servers or webservers ever drifted even a second per week. If your system is drifting that much, something is wrong and needs fixing. Start with looking at replacing your CMOS battery. 73, and a firm left handshake, John (XLX) -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gordon LaPoint Sent: 15 January 2017 14:08 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3s-wsjt-wspr The windows time sync is not good enough to use for the jt or wspr timing, it only updates once a week. Your clock must be within a couple os seconds to be decoded and do decoding. I recoment using the Meinberg ntp client, see: https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm#ntp_nt_stable Use the one for Windows XP and newer.
