Then a GPS Dongle seems to be the solution.   Same as a POTA/SOTA  activation. Larry / W1DYJ

+1 Especially regarding WSJT-X.

With full ntp, the drift correction factor calculated for you clock will allow it to stay in sync far, far, longer that it could umcorrected. For long term issues, eithe GPS or a WWV/WWVB based time

There is a *LOT* wrong with sntp! It is a crude bastardization of ntp, which is incapable of smoothly managing a clock (which is why those using it likely have problems! Real ntp rarely (if ever) does

Hi, Larry: What if only my internet connection is down? 73, Chuck

I do not know where it went but the original problem was using a SNTP updating every minute. Not CPU cycles but simply a lot of jitter possible disrupting decoding. Nothing really wrong with SNTP,

Hi all, Well, I changed the update period in D4 to 15min and after a long session on the radio this afternoon, I had only one missing period, but that may have been down to a very strong signal (bad

One other thing to note (and the original message has been lost) was someone had mentioned an ntp client taking CPU resources away from WSJTX . . . . Not sure where the idea came from that time

If you are referring to configuring multiple/additional servers in ntpd (or the Meinberg package thereof) it is simply a matter of adding more server lines in the config file - ntp.conf. Yank, paste,

I have never really paid much attention to which servers I have used, but with a "true" ntpd deployment on *nix, I routinely hold 1.5ms (or less), and I am certain that nothing is within 500 miles

That has been the "normal" ntpd behaviour on advanced platforms for decades! The issue has been that Windows has been such a blunt instrument, that it did not support drift adjustments for those same

File => Settings => General => Decoded Text Font 73's de Kari, oh2gqc

How do I change it back? Have you possibly changed the N avg value? The lower value the wider spacing. 73, Reino OH3mA

You are probably right, but I plan for the worst and hope for the best. My wife calls me Debbie Downer. 73 Bob Rose robert.rose@... KN6UXD DM13ld

I will add that there are some dodgy time servers around and you keep a close eye on your OT or use time.is for a while.

How do I increase the decode font size?

The spacing between the time lines has changed from about 1/8 inch to about 1/2 inch. How do I change it back?

Bob, Meinberg recommends local pool servers, at least four. "# Use a NTP server from the ntp pool project (see http://www.pool.ntp.org) # Please note that you need at least four different servers to

If the whole internet is down, I personally think that running WSJT-X will be far back in our minds... Larry / W1DYJ

Please do a test to see if any NTP server has ~<= 3 ms latency. Hi Chuck, You seems to have a really high speed internet connection! My typical Delays are tens of milliseconds while Meinberg keeps
