Hey John, To move RAM images around I"m using REX, creating a backup of the RAM image and saving it to "disk" or in this case Mcomm or my NADS. I like Mcomm because the directory it saves everything in on the phone is automatically backed up (by another application) to dropbox right now. Then I load that image in VirtualT on the PC.
The times when I need an accurately set clock are not always when I'm backing things up. Time drift is a constant issue when tracking sats with the M100 in the middle of a field with radio gear strapped all over you. I have several external devices that can set the clock for me in times like this but it requires loading a basic program to do so. Not difficult mind you but not quite just a power cycle either. I like Thought in SuperROM but wrote some perl scripts to manipulate Idea! data files many years ago so am pretty set on using it. Your talking to a guy who still uses his 34 year old PC so I'm pretty resistant to change. Brian On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 3:10 PM, John R.
