Re: [BVARC] Windows 10 Time Sync

2017-03-01 Thread GMuller885--- via BVARC

I had the same time issue with JT65.  Last week I noticed that the  program 
waterfall showed lots of contacts but the program was not decoding them.  
Doing much troubleshooting I could not figure out the issue. I called one of 
my  elmers and he came over. After some discussion I mentioned that the 
Atomic clock  on the wall did not match the clock in the program. He said 
"There 
is your  problem". We installed NET TIME and the problem went away. NET 
TIME syncs the  cpu with the atomic clock once a day or when ever you boot the 
system.and it  costs NOTHING. Try it and you will like it.

Good Evening,  


I seem to remember talking to someone on the repeater about how to time  
sync Windows 10. This is needed for JT-65 mainly. A few of the JT-65 apps have 
 a time sync function, but here is a quick video showing how to get Windows 
10  to sync. 


In the Date and Time setting from the Control Panel click on the  Internet 
Time Tab and then the Change Settings Button.


This will allow you to select Synchronize with an Internet time Server  and 
there are a few to choose from. Don't ask me which one is best. My guess  
is that "Father Time" keeps all these time servers inline. 


The periodic time sync happens once a day or twice a day at best. If you  
are running JT-65 and are having trouble decoding or getting a call back 
after  calling CQ, then the first thing I do is this time sync. 


There again don't ask me why. PC's make lousy clocks. My guess is that  
they are way to busy managing those nasty Pop ups, virus scanners, on  
firewalls , and darn Angry Birds. 




So the important part is that you click Update Time and get  a good 
conformation message back. Then you should be golden once  you get back after 
those 
JT-65 contacts. 


You can now rest easy knowing you won't have to sync your Windows 10  clock 
again until the next day.  If you watch the water fall on JT-65,  you can 
see the guys that are off on their time. They are just those same  people 
that always seem to love ice skating uphill. 




If you have questions on how to time sync any of the other operating  
system, my answer is to upgrade to Windows 10 and follow these instructions.  
These may work for Windows 7.31415 or which ever Windows that guy at Best Buy  
sold you, but Microsoft loves to fundamentally changes things just to keep  
programmers and support people employed. 


I always like to quote references and Scott Adams is the Mark Twain of  the 
Tech Sector. In his "Should Have" Won an award book entitled "The Dilbert  
Principle"  he captures the essence of the world of modern  products: 



Problems You CreateMarket Opportunity  


Write bad Software Sell Upgrades
 Build undependable productsSell service warranties
Tell People they Stink Sell deodorant 




Hey its all true if you just look under the hood. :)  I had some  time to 
kill and I appreciate you reading this far. 4 Minutes a QSO in JT-65  gives 
me plenty of time to goof off in email. 




Have Fun,
Jeff

[BVARC] From the Associated Press

2017-03-01 Thread JP Pritchard via BVARC

Ham radio operators are getting a buzz -- and pot growers are to blame. Retired 
Coast Guard officer Roger Johnson sometimes receives a harsh buzz when he turns 
on his amateur radio. The Maine ham says the interference is from the 
high-powered lighting used to grow pot. The American Radio Relay League wants 
the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on devices that illegally 
disrupt radio reception. Johnson worries the problem will get worse following 
Maine's legalization of the illegal weed.
