[time-nuts] Lady Heather 5.00 doesn't keep time

2017-08-14 Thread Mark Sims
Looking at the log file, it looks like the receiver is sending garbage data.

I have some USB dongles with a (supposedly) Prolific PL23xx chip in them.   
After, typically a day or two, they start sending corrupted data.   I think the 
problem showed up after installing some program that updated the driver.

"some 20 seconds" sounds a lot like the 18 second difference
between the GPS timescale and UTC.

Check and ensure your receiver is set to produce UTC if that's
what you expect.

[time-nuts] Lady Heather 5.00 doesn't keep time

I installed version 5.00 of Lady Heather as the 3.1 version was affected by the 
GPS Rollover. It stopped displaying the digital clock which I used as a station 
clock for my ham radio logging. So I installed and ran version 5.00, specifying 
the digital clock. It worked for a while with correct time as I compared it to 
the digital clock display in the WSJTX software GUI. I haven't determined how 
long it takes but it is in the range of 5 or 10 minutes and then I notice a 
difference between the clocks. Checking with WWV on the radio, the WSJTX clock 
is right on but LH is off by some 20 seconds. Is there a bug in LH5.00? Is 
there an option I didn't set? The 3.1 version worked without any special 
options other than full screen and digital clock selected.
