The one thought that I think is pertinent to this discussion is this: Were the basic split/management functions for ALL.txt be added to WSJTX, then it would be a truly portable solution. As it is,

Tim, NTP is included in later Windows. I still use Meinberg but the Windows NTP requires configuration, the default is for "normal"

WSJTX is a cross-platform app, Windows, Linux & MacOS. Meinberg is Windows only. de Laurie VK3AMA

Grrr . . . fat fingers! That should be "... if the issues with Meinberg . . . xould be resolven, then it could be included with WSJTX . . - Tim -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Frankly, if the issues with Meinberg (actually, that is nothing more than a compile of open source NTP code . . . ) could be included with WSJTX for Windows, it would be the ideal solution. Those

Thanks for letting me know. I was thinking of something very simple with no bells and whistles and works on any size ALL.TXT file. So it's good to know that you have already cracked that nut. I

Agreed. I find the dancing on the head of a pin about this silly. I've used nothing but Net Time since the earliest days of WSJT, almost 15 years, and average DT values are always quite small. Over

Phil, With a non-standard callsign, you can not send the grid. I've seen other non-standard callsign users substitute a free text message <CALLSIGN> <GRID> for the CQ message periodically. The

So either fix the OS, go to an OS that actually works, or learn how to properly deploy the 3rd party tools that solve the problem . . . -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse

Exactly! If time synchronization was implemented in WSJTX and the user shutdown WSJTX they then loose any time synchronization. To maintain accurate time keeping would require that WSJTX is kept

Because timekeeping is an OS task, not part of any app . . . -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

I wonder? If this time sync thing is so important then why not include it in the digital software and take the burden off the user. or maybe the burden does not really exist and we are just seeing the

Hello Reino, Agreed as your point regarding Meinberg. My input on this topic was for "quick and dirty" one stop shopping program adequate for most ham digital modes. I'm sure the EME folks may

Hi Gene, Check the program AllText.exe that I wrote and that is available for free at ProgramsByW2JDB@groups.io. It does what you mentioned and more. The All.txt file size does not matter. It does

Sad, considering that full NTP is so simple and trivial to configure on more advanced platforms (IE, yet one more thing MS got wrong). Not using the right tool simply because an app or platform makes

Yeaah but so what. Once a day sync is more than good enough for most and you MAY miss ONE decode, you will never know. Outlook LT Gil W0MN Hierro Candente Batir de Repente 44.08226 N 92.51265 W

Hi Reino (and all), one factor that shouldn't be overlooked when deciding which time-sync'ing app to use on a PC is the effect of using an app such as D4 (and also NetTime?) that is based on the SNTP

Thanks for the reply Kari! That did the trick. 73, Mark

Every couple months I go to the ALL.txt file and rename it date_ALL.txt. Then I move it to an archive_ALL folder. A new ALL.txt file is automatically generated. The hardest part about this procedure
