Apologies to Eric who closed this thread, but getting Macs to
work is on topic and generally not covered much on this list.
Please tell me if I am off base and I'll try to clean up my act.
The built in Mac time synch works very well. Since I sometimes
operate where there is no Internet access, I am thrown back on
the accuracy of the computer clock. I can get enough off that
FT8 doesn't work any more. The solution is to fire up my phone
as a hot spot, connect to it, and use the Date and Time panel to
change the time provider away from North America and back. That
gooses the software into doing a synch and then things are good again.
I have never gotten manual setting of the time to work well
enough for FT8. I would love a technique that worked well for
when that rare DX is the one that is off. A QSO in both logs is
more valuable than correct time.

As a new FT-8 user on my K2, I find this thread fascinating.
But all these software solutions appear to be for PC’s. Is
there something equivalent for Macs?
