Hi Everyone,
Regarding Dieter's comments about time synchronization...I poked around the 'net and found this program to be the best of the ones I tried. I have it set to sync every 15 minutes and forget it's even running in the background. Each time I open SatSpy the time is right on.

I also have a program to sync my Palm T/X time to the laptop for portable satellite tracking...

PocketSat+ runs on the Palm...

I hope this is helpful! Everyone have a great holiday season, don't eat too much, (yeah right) and pray for peace!
Regards!

Thanks Gene!

Hi all,
I use Tardis and K9 to sync the Windows nodes on my network. Have done since Win 3.11.

It's well worth a look!

OK, but I think, this was not Dieters problem. It's possible, that a time server goes offline. In this case you have to choose another time server. But until you have detected the problem of the wrong running PC-clock, ISS is over. A frequently control is better.
Since a long time without any interruption I use the time server NIST in Boulder, CO. URL: time.nist.gov / IP: 192.43.244.18 / Protocol: UDP
Also important is a correct settet Time Zone on your PC.

You could also use the following host....
ntp.pool.org
This is a round robin, load balanced pool of clocks by which you can set your pc.
