Check your BIOS and see if you have CPU power save enabled. I had some HP pizza boxes at one time that the clock went nuts when the CPU scaled down. Mike W9MDB

The HP Pavilon g series is less than poor for the clock. The protocol used is continuous correct the time, and looking in NTP logs it is in the 100mS range, too large for a actual technology. But a good chip can be expensive, so normally is used the cheapest See this link http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS3231.pdf or other clock generators Using the same program in a couple of old computer the logs show a 20x 50x better values The initial discussion was about how many DT over 1 second I found in "CQ" decoded. There is a lot of JT65 users OOT (Out Of Time) Best 73 de Sandro IW3RAB Il 15/11/2014 12:12, Paul DU2/WA8UGN ha scritto: > Hi Sandro and all: > > Alessandro Gorobey <algiuga@...> writes: >> Il 14/11/2014 19:06, Claude Frantz ha scritto: >>> On 11/14/2014 06:39 PM, Alessandro Gorobey wrote: >>> >>>> Now time problem.
