[SJDXA] Computer Clock accuracy

[jeff griffin]

At my QTH here in NJ I also use dimension4. In Florida, due to issues I had with running two routers so I can maintain a VN there I use an app that uses GPS time, no direct or indirect internet connection needed. A cheap GPS USB dongle and  an APP called NMEATime2. Not needed anymore but left it in as it works very well. One of the last jobs I did for the FAA was to do a tech refresh on the time source for the entire air traffic control system in the US. The cost was over 12,000 $ per site. This will do the same for your PC and is just as accurate for around 40$ !

I use dimension4.  Some say it has problems but I've never seen any.

A great way to check your computers clock.  If you are operating the FT8 mode you should be using a program like Meinberg. The below site checks the accuracy of your computers clock regardless of which time correction program you may be using.
