One button syncs to the current second - I use it for JT65 operation – listen for when everyone else starts TXing, click the “Zero to CURRENT Minute” button, and next time around JT65 will be close enough to decode and be decoded. To address this issue, I made a little windoze app that synchronizes the laptop clock to “0” seconds when a button is clicked. (Of course this is not a problem when at home and connected to the net – I use Dimension4 to keep clock synch.) I imagine that the internal clock in many laptops suffers from this same problem – and as you know this makes any type of timed operation difficult or impossible when mobile. The laptop I use for mobile op happens to have a pretty crummy clock – it can easily loose several seconds per day. Occasionally, I like to head out in the truck and run JT65, or even let WSPR run a while from some remote or hilltop location.
