In my experience portable operation does indeed have a problem with
drifting clocks due to temperature variations, and particularly wind.
Internet connectivity may well be unavailable, so I've bought a cheap GPS
dongle that does the job just fine.
I'm not sure a fixed clock adjustment will deal with it though, because
I've found the drift on my laptop to be rather dynamic and it could soon
get out of step. I agree changing the system clock would be unwise.
Averaging received time differentials to provide a correction is an
interesting thought though, but in my view providing that was done only
inside WSJT-X and only for the current session - no changes to the system
clock itself, or permanent config changes.

Proposal:
Add an adjustment that allows you to manually adjust an offset to the
system clock. Being able to simply enter +/- seconds at the 100ths of a
second would be helpful, ie: "-2.3s" or "+0.9s"
Hi David and all,
If you use ntpd or chrony, you have the ability to insert this data in
the appropriate config of these pieces of software.
This has no place in the software using the time services.
Best wishes,
Claude (DJ0OT)
