Hello Laurie,

In QRS you can activate a synchronization function : click on "Setup", then 
on "Sync."
You can synchronize the start of the transmission to 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 
minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour.

Eg. : if you select 1 minute and you push on start at 11h12m13s QRS will 
wait until the next full minute (11h13m00s) to start.
If you select 2 minutes QRS will wait until the next even minute, If you 
select 5 minutes QRS will wait until the next multiple of 5 minutes etc.

As the recent versions of QRS use the computer clock to calculate the 
keying synchronization should be maintained.
I did some rudimental testing on the Sync. function and it seemed OK.
I don't think that someone already tested it more intense, but feel free to 
test this function and let me know if it works and/or if it does what you 
need. In problems occur  or you need another kind of synchronization I will 
(try to) solve it and release a new version of QRS.

73, Rik

PS : The spell checker insists on writing synchronization (with Z, not S). 
It looks odd to me, any native English who can confirm this ? (or is it one 
of these subtile differences between British and American English)
