<div dir="ltr">One thing FT-8 is sensitive to is your computer's
clock, which has to be accurately sync'd with a time server. If
you are running on Windows, the default is to update your clock
once a week using the NTP protocol and a Microsoft time server.
WSJT-X recommends installing software to update more often, but
that's not necessary. It's easier to use Regedit. The key to
change the auto time sync time interval settings is located at:
<div>
<div><br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient<br>
<br>
The key name is <b>SpecialPollInterval </b>and the type is
DWORD. The default value is 604800 (decimal) or 0x00093a80
(hexadecimal). That number is the seconds between update.
Change the value to 86400 to auto time sync every day. Don't
make it much shorter than that or you risk getting blocked
for swamping the server with requests. This works on all
versions of Windows back to XP.</div>

<div>Windows uses NTP, not <span class="gmail-il">SNTP</span>,
and you can also change the NTP server it uses here:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>...in the <b>NTPServer</b> key.<br>
