What is the sync time tolerance? For example, following the directions here https://www.windowscentral.com/how-manage-time-servers-windows-10 https://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-internet-time-update-interval-windows or using any number of products such as D4, you can be within 0.01, +- 0.01 s... Windows defaults to syncing time weekly, but I have mine set at hourly. At any time, I can go here https://time.is/ to see how far off I am...is this close enough for FT8? One note I saw said "But if you can get your clock within, say, a half a second, you'll be fine for FT8 and FT4." and this method certainly exceeds that spec. I'm not an FT8 kinda guy, but I ran across this http://www.kk5jy.net/tweaktime/ ~R~ 72/73 de Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
