OK Bill. It was just a thought and I knew the feature had been available before. Getting people to get their computer clocks accurate is like herding cats. Thanks and GL.

I wonder if this feature would be useful in WSJT-X to help with FT8 decodes if your attempted QSO partners computer clock appears to be off. It could be helpful if they are starting transmit too early. Might be something for the developers could look at. 73 Jay Jay Hainline KA9CFD Colchester, IL EN40om Hi Jay, WSJT-X is an Open Source application, considered contributions are welcome but there are no guarantees of acceptance. Such a change is possible although quite complex given that time is read in several places and it would be disruptive of an already complex application to maintain a separate source of time consistently. TBH we would prefer that users take the relatively simple steps necessary to keep their PC time synchronized to UTC, within a few milliseconds, automatically. The new FT4 mode requires tighter control of time synchronization, currently ±0.5 S, so manual setting is not really sufficient. 73 Bill G4WJS.
