Barry,
I don't have a solution to the question as asked, however ...
Rather than trying to sync the clock real time, if you set the computer
time at home just before your outing, it should be good for at least 72
hours.
My laptop (used only for use while away from home) keeps accurate time
within a second or so for a good long time (several days), and should be
usable for FT8 use if set before an outing. Your computer may not be as
accurate, but I encourage you to check it. As I understand it, FT8 can
tolerate up to 1/2 second of timing error.
73,

I don't know if very many portable ops out there are using FT8. I'm
piecing together a portable FT8 setup for my KX3 and I'm hoping to use a
Bluetooth GPS receiver to provide accurate time sync to a Windows tablet.
If anybody out there is already doing this, can you please tell me what
software you're successfully running under Windows to link the GPS data
with the system time?
