I've done several checks against WWV and the PC's clock is now spot on. Yes, I was having driver problems. I explained that. But I'm no longer attempting to use those and have what I believe is a stable driver for my PCI serial ports I just acquired. I'll continue checks against WWV, but as

Perhaps what you need is a new driver or a different type of serial port, if you haven't exhausted that route already. Greg KO6TH Date: Sun, 9 May 2010 21:23:58 -0600 From: w...@montana.com To: ko6th_g...@hotmail.com CC: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: PC clock

Thanks all for the many many replies, (almost too many to count) both here and off-list, to my post about PC time being in error. After considering many, I have taken the advice of Mike DK3WN and Alan VE4YZ and performed the registry edit they both recommended. I have my PC now updating time

Some of the internet time syncing tools recommended are not compliant with Win 7 64-bit O/S. I will not be chasing those further and hope to edit the time sync service that already exists in Win 7. Larry W7IN On 5/8/2010 2:48 PM, Larry Gerhardstein wrote: > My PC's clock keeps getting off by e
