When running FT8 via WSJT-X 1.9.1, I see a wide variety of DT numbers of transmitting stations, everything from minus 1 to plus 2. A friend who is perfection personified reported that my DT is a consistent 0.4 into his gear at his station.
That DT number is the difference between your clock and his. If it were off by a second or two, you would see almost all stations off by that amount, and in the same direction. If it were off by more than that, you would see few decodes at all. 99.9% of my WSJT-X work is on 6M, and I rarely see DTs greater than a half second -- most are 0.1 - 0.2. You WILL see occasional DTs greater than 1 second.
For many years, I've used this nice little clock utility. Works great. Free. http://www.timesynctool.com/
