I've not been able to get my windows computer to automatically update for a long time now and I've tried everything I could uncover via google & forums.
Since I use the computer for logging and contesting, having the real time on my computer is important so I've had to tune to WWV and manually sync the minutes and seconds and doing this repeatedly is a PIT kiester. Even with a new battery, this computer loses 5-6 seconds a month and I dislike having to constantly go through the resetting procedure. I found the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a govt. agency, has a free software that will do this for you. http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/its.c fm or: http://tinyurl.com/4s9agpw There's a tiny learning curve and for a server under the file button, I needed to select the 2nd option and checked the NTP format option for it to work but it now updates in maybe 2 seconds and gives you the option of syncing in real time or not. Once you have it working, save the config under the file option and it will remember your selected option. I'm assuming we all want our time to be correct so I'm posting this here and on a couple of other Ham groups I follow. Now back to our regularly scheduled Elecraft postings. 73, Gary KA1J ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
