+/- 1.5s shouldn't present a problem to anyone, even, just about, for people (e.g. some dxp) that rely on crude GPS NMEA serial data time synchronisation.

In the (unlikely?) event that an even shorter DT window is ever considered, I'd like to request that a small range of DT adjustment be made available - similar, but perhaps of a smaller magnitude/finer resolution, to JT65's Dsec setting in WSJT10 (not available in WSJT-X?). Other than using NMEA data, another scenario where *really* tight timing requirements will cause a problem is in the use of remote radios where the client software is running at the remote, not the radio end; obviously there's an inherent, known, and fixed delay in such a system that can be of the order of 100's of ms.

Thank you Mike! After fixing PC time, decoding properly now.

Hi Edfel,

Steve, K0AN, has tightened the time synchronization requirements for the FT8 decoder. The change seemed sensible given the shorter T/R period, higher proportion of the T/R period that is message, and faster code rate. Having a smaller sync detection tine interval makes the decoder either faster or able to look a bit harder for a signal to try and decode.

If you are build from sources and intending to use WSJT-X on air, it is essential to track the change history to understand what you might be running. This particularly true at the moment if you build the development branch rather than the v1.8 branch.
