For logging purposes +/- a few seconds is relatively unimportant. For timed or sequence transmissions 0.5 seconds seems adequate. I see on reason to maintain microsecond timing. Remember, it's only a hobby. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 19, 2019, at 2:19 PM, Tox wrote: > >

Typical NTP implementations only query every N minutes. Might check to see if your implementation also checks at startup, but if you're just suspend/waking a windows laptop it may not be triggering that sort of event, and just waiting for next scheduled update. Good luck Scott AD6YT On Sat, Oct

I don't have to rerun Meinberg.  It does everything by itself.  For some reason it just doesn't seem to do it on startup ... it takes a few minutes before it kicks in.  So far I haven't figured out why. 73, Dave   AB7E On 10/19/2019 4:37 AM, David Woolley wrote: There is something wrong if

I saw the dual panadatpors yesterday--very, very cool! I'll try to snap some pictures today. BTW, my phone is connected to the Internet, although the connection via Verizon is almost useless here in San Ramon! It does take pictures and provides a very accurate time. I operate my K3 and KX3

There is something wrong if you have to re-run a Windows installer every time that you boot Windows! The Meinberg product is just an installer; the actual software installed is the open source NTP reference implementation, currently owned by the University of Delaware, and developed under the

Yeah, I understand that.  If you're going to have a clock it might as well be accurate.  I just don't understand why anyone cares about the clock to start with.  At least not unless or until Elecraft enables some embedded app in the K4 that needs it.  I doubt anyone needs +/- a couple

The flip side of that is with ntp being around since the stone age and the K4 having that feature implicitly, why not have it dead on? I have to use a 3rd party program to keep windows close which is a joke in the 21st century. 73, Bill WE5P > > On Oct 18, 2019 at

I've never understood the obsession with clocks and clock accuracy on the K3/K3s/K4 series of rigs, yet it keeps popping up here from time to time.  I would think that 98+% of the operations with these rigs involves the use of computer logging programs, almost all of which boldly,
