Time synchronise problems in W7

My Notepad W7 DELL420 clock was slowly drifting out of sync  second by second and WSPR 50MHz did not decode anymore.


I use Symmtime, this program reported to synchronise the PC clock  to the selected timeserver  at the given interval 15minutes. But I was running 6 seconds  behind.  forcing synchronise did not chance the PC clock.
I had windows internet time unchecked because Symmtime or Dimension 4 would take over that job?? Both did not!
Dimension 4 did even report the how much the PC clock was adjusted  + or -  seconds  nice. But In real nothing was adjusted.
Must have something to do with access right again.
I did install not in the restricted  programs directory but in my own
C:\ham\  and as  administrator  did not seem to cure it.


I did re-check Windows:  synchronise with an internet time server again. Clicked sync now and instantly the PC clock was adjusted.

Then I modified the default  time update interval of the Windows clock  to 1000sec (decimal)  and removed the SymmTime and Dimension4.
To de-install Symmtime  first rightclick the Symmtime Icon on the taskbar right bottom screen  select exit.
Then the programm can be un-installed  over the Config Programs 
I like Symmtime for XP it is fine but not for W7 it seems.


here is the link that tells you how to do that.

In XP I have no problem Symmtime keeps the clock sychronised.

Grappig Jaap ik had exact hetzelfde probleem lees: http://pe4bas.blogspot.com/2011/11/time-issues-again.html
Windows time server was compleet verdwenen, bestaat gewoon niet meer. Zelfs niet in de systm32 dir. Heb het opgelost met Nettime. ls het maar werkt....73, Bas

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its n...

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjuste...

BIJZEN mast en ontwerp fouten.

In 2013 heb ik een Bijzen aluminium mast 3 x7m  opgehaald  bij iemand die hem niet mocht plaatsen Gemeente Oss  dat zegt misschien al genoeg.. Pas in 2018 heb ik hem geplaatst had ik veel eerder moeten doen. Mooie mast, mijn xyl vond hem zelfs mooi. Hij is licht, de 3 delen wegen  235kg  het vaste deel 102kg dus het te lieren gedeelte weegt   slechts 133kg + ca 50kg rotor + antennes etc.  De elektrische lier is wel erg zwaar 30kg misschien wel maar die zit onder    Antenne  3ele Steppir  19kG  +  G2500DXC rotor: 3.6kg  + rotorbuis 12 kg  +  kabels 10kg  + 5/7 ele 6m beam. ongeveer 50kg Je moet niet te dichtbij  kijken, dan valt op dat het Aluminium lastwerk heel slordig is gedaan, scherpe bramen aan de lassen waar kabels door kunnen worden beschadigd of haken Er is zeer ! weinig ruimte voor de rotor een YAESU G2500DX past net maar dan ook net  met beetje buigen van  kruisverband. Het...
