But if they want to install a third party time sync program they are better off installing W3HCF's definitive implementation of the NTP protocol, rather than a program that was, I believe, really designed for Windows 3.1/95. In 06/10/18 21:15, Larry (K8UT) wrote: The user has two choices: use

Mike, It is not unusual at all for things to "get jumpy" when the computer is busy doing some frequent task. Why do we always blame the radio first. In this day of digital stuff with a computer involved, 90% of the time the problem is with the computer or the settings in your application.
