N8DX While I agree that updating using something like Dimension 4 (which I use at home and like very much) is a good thing to do, updating once a minute not only isn't necessary, but can tax the master clocks that provide this service. I've found that updating every 4 hours works to keep me well within a second of the "official" time, I wouldn't recommend updating any more frequently than perhaps every hour if you had a situation with a bad clock. Although the network traffic caused by a single PC isn't much, when you multiple that by hundreds of thousands or more, you can see the problem. If everyone updated once a minute, it could tax the ability of the clocks to provide the service. 73, David, K2DBK

N8DX IMHO synchronizing once a minute is a monumental waste of CPU resources. Unless one second accuracy is needed, I suspect a 5-10 minute interval, or perhaps longer, would be adequate. unkadean --
