[Elecraft] Mac Clock Question

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

My general thought on computer time accuracy......start decoding 
stations.   Watch the DT value of those decoded.  I find if the majority 
are less than <0.5 +/- then your computer clock is good.   If most 
stations decodes  are greater than >0.5 +/-, then I'd look for a better 
time reference.  I'm not a MAC user so I can't comment on a source.
