It's not just the computer clock though.  You can have different delays on Tx/Rx depending on your setup. de Mike W9MDB On Monday, May 6, 2019, 3:38:33 PM CDT, Deisher, Michael wrote: wsjtx seems to have all the information necessary to  “crowdsource” the time interval boundaries.

wsjtx seems to have all the information necessary to “crowdsource” the time interval boundaries. For a portable station without GPS or Internet that could really help. If wsjtx published the dt values via IPC messages then it could be done outside wsjtx in a separate utility (i.e., figure out

I did a little test and had WSJT-X offset my WAV file by 300ms.  This idea would allow custom correction of Dt values beyond just accurate time.  So audio delays could be allowed for. I do believe this would be a very worthwhile addition to WSJT-X and may explain why people have been having prob

Seems to me what could be done is to memmove the WAV data in the decoder in perhaps 50mS increments adjustable by an up/down where down means move it earlier (i.e. decrease Dt value).  This way receiving stations just adjust to try and hit the target value of zero.  Transmit is a different probl
