Duh, "will sync to one of the atomic clocks." (dyslexic old fart syndrome)

This is needed for JT-65 mainly. A few of the JT-65 apps have a time sync function, but here is a quick video showing how to get Windows 10 to sync. In the Date and Time setting from the Control Panel click on the Internet Time Tab and then the Change Settings Button. This will allow you to select Synchronize with an Internet time Server and there are a few to choose from. Don't ask me which one is best. My guess is that "Father Time" keeps all these time servers inline. The periodic time sync happens once a day or twice a day at best. If you are running JT-65 and are having trouble decoding or getting a call back after calling CQ, then the first thing I do is this time sync. There again don't ask me why. PC's make lousy clocks. My guess is that they are way to busy managing those nasty Pop ups, virus scanners, on firewalls , and darn Angry Birds. So the important part is that you click Update Time and get a good conformation message back. Then you should be golden once you get back after those JT-65 contacts. You can now rest easy knowing you won't have to sync your Windows 10 clock again until the next day. If you watch the water fall on JT-65, you can see the guys that are off on their time. They are just those same people that always seem to love ice skating uphill. If you have questions on how to time sync any of the other operating system, my answer is to upgrade to Windows 10 and follow these instructions. These may work for Windows 7.31415 or which ever Windows that guy at Best Buy sold you, but Microsoft loves to fundamentally changes things just to keep programmers and support people employed. I always like to quote references and Scott Adams is the Mark Twain of the Tech Sector. In his "Should Have" Won an award book entitled "The Dilbert Principle" he captures the essence of the world of modern products: Problems You Create Market Opportunity Write bad Software Sell Upgrades Build undependable products Sell service warranties Tell People they Stink Sell deodorant Hey its all true if you just look under the hood. :) I had some time to kill and I appreciate you reading this far. 4 Minutes a QSO in JT-65 gives me plenty of time to goof off in email. Have Fun, Jeff KG5LRP
