[Elecraft] Clock sync

[Bob Naumann]

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.

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.
