[Logic] Changing the Time

Thu, 31 Oct 2002 08:41:40 -0400

Dan,

You don't have to menu, scroll, peek/poke. You sit in front of your computer
with your main logging screen active, you click the little square +- button
in the bottom row of the Info screen and then adjust the UTC Offset in the
bottom row of the screen that popped up when you clicked the +- button.
That's it, nothing more, nothing less, only two (2) clicks. I can't get
annoyed over that, but to each his own.

73,   Carl   VE9OV
