Time Synchronization for FT8

K0PIR

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. On my YouTube channel I upload videos on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 along with Ham radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to try new things in Amateur Radio.

Both of your time utilities require Internet access, as does the Meinberg set, which I use. When traveling, do you tether a cell phone or is there another way to reach time services?
Sooner or later, someone will find a way to use the signal from WWV/B to do this, but I haven’t seen it yet. I enjoy your newsletter… 73 de KD9PCN.

I recently purchased a Win 11 Pro desktop computer because the Win 10 died. I have an Icom 7300 firmware 1.41 and had no problem running FT-8 until now. I’m using Net Time and the WSJTX download from Source Forge. I’ve watched many videos including yours and can’t find any instructions to get the waterfall to display or how to communicate with Grid Tracker either. I’ve tried for over a week and haven’t made a QSO. Local hams think it’s a waste of time and won’t even try it. I had screen shots but they must have been tossed out. Any suggestions on where to find something that will work with Win 11? screen shots are prefered.
I know it’s off topic but I’m tryiny to maintain my sanity

Rich –

Thanks for this. I’ve tried Meinberg, but found it too cumbersome and finicky. I have been using Dimension 4 on my Windows PC’s but it was nice to know about Chrony for my MacBook Air.

73 and safe travels.
