If the radio and its server are not in sync then there will be problems with alarms - the server is sending an alarm signal, but the radio keeps is own 'fallback' time - if these shift then there will be even more problems than now. So I guess NTP on the radio alone wouldn't make sense with the current architecture. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
