Re: LF: Time server with delay option?

[Wolfgang Büscher <dl4yhf@freenet.de>]

Hi Andy,

yes of course. Feel free to use it, modify, distribute if (unfortunately Borland C is a bit out of fashion but I still love it). Beware of a pitfall with 'modern' windows: The good old 'SetSystemTime' function doesn't work without administrator privileges. The program can then measure the PC's clock deviation but not correct it :(

Cheers,
  Wolf .

That's a lovely nice simple bit of software to use.

Can I publicise it on a couple of other groups for users who need accurate timekeeping?

I'm glad to see you make the source code freely available too.

Hi Stefan,

please try again .. seems there was something wrong with the upload, cache- or proxy effect, or the link inside the html was wrong.
The correct URL for the zipped archive (with executable and sources) is http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/rsNTP/rsNTP.zip,
and the file NtpClient.exe must be from 2015-10-02, and exactly 530944 bytes long.

If that still doesn't work, I will send the zip directly.

Now back on 2 meters, there are nice tropo conditions all over Eu (from russia to the UK).

Hello Wolf,

Many thanks for the quick service.
I've downloaded the program and run it. But it does not show the described window for the offset time. Maybe you forgot to upload the program to your site or did it on a different link?

New version of the 'ridiculously simple NTP client' uploaded to the website:

http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/rsNTP/rsNTP.htm

The value in the little edit field in the upper right corner of the window ("Add [s]") is the number of seconds *added* to the UTC-value received from the NTP server.

Note that under Win 7 / 8 , the utility must run "as admin". No installation required. Just copy anywhere and run it.

Hi Stefan,

If you don't find a ready solution, I could modify my 'ridiculously simple NTP client' for that purpose...

Hi all,

Does someone of you know a time server program which allows to set a certain time offset, e.g. -5 seconds? You know what i mean, it's for WSPR...
Ah, the program has to run on Win7 !
