In addition to the automatic update - which is remarkably close with only a weekly update - you can update it as often as you like.
If one is going to need better accuracy, you can manually sync the clock anytime with a couple of mouse clicks to get to the "Update Now" button. Again, this function is built in to Windows. You do not need any extra software. You can leave that window open, and click "Update Now" as often as you like while you need the additional accuracy. No registry editing is needed to achieve accuracy on demand. 73, Bob W5OV -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 8:24 AM To: Bob Naumann Cc: [email protected]; 'Rich - K1HTV'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Clock sync > I think XP has this capability also and likely Vista as well but it's > been along time since I left XP for Win 7 and have not looked back. All 32/64 bit versions of Windows have the ability to sync to "Internet Time." However, they only sync once a week and do not retry in the event of failure or if the computer is off, sleeping or hibernating when it is time to sync. Changing the frequency of synchronization requires registry editing and is not recommended of users who do not understand the risks. 73, ...
