From: Peter Laws I've noticed the same issue (running Meinberg's build of NTP) with the same amateur radio program where the PC is a certain number of seconds off (4 or 6 or so or whatever but on the order of what the OP reported). A restart of NTP "fixes" it. This happens after a cold boot

My feeling is that if you do not have competing applications fighting for control of the clock, and your clock time is visibly correct to a second, that your problem is not the system time. Meinberg ntpd by default disables w32time but it may not disable other applications (you mentioned a few of
