SV: [DXBase] date problem

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 12:00:50 -0400

Dunno, Bill.  I did the NIST setup last Fall, to a timebase server in
Colorado, I think.  Seems to me you could set PC clock to local time and
sync to NIST, inputting the time zone delta at setup, but I have not
looked into it.  Time zone ID would assure date is always correct.

I agree. I also keep my computers on local time.
I use them for other things besides radio.
DXB and Writelog both make the UTC conversion automagically.

Wonder if he's using the automatic time syncing?
Would having a computer set to Monrovia and then syncing with NIST
confuse
the date portion of the sync?
