Hello everyone,

I'm quite pleased with BktTimeSync 1.11.1 as it has lots of control over the time source selection and the methods for accurately syncing the PC clock.  The ability to shift the PC clock time by very small amounts using the Manual Set control is especially useful when operating FT4 and 8.  There is something I'm not sure about with respect to how the "Max Error" value is treated.  It seems that the code only checks for positive values of (GPS_time) - (PC_time).  E.g. I think the test is:

IF (GPS_time)-(PC_time) > Err_value THEN .....

which is wrong IMO.  The test should be:

IF ABS((GPS_time)-(PC_time)) > Err_value THEN ....

Mauro, I would be grateful if you would confirm or check this.  What I am seeing is that if the PC Clock time is a larger positive value than Max Error, then it reads the GPS receiver time again and continues to read it until the PC_Time - GPS_Time is less than Max Error, but if PC_Time - GPS_Time is a negative value whose magnitude is larger than Max Error, it does not read the GPS receiver again.  Also, why is this function restricted to time coming from a GPS receiver?  Should it not also apply to NTP, or is the reasoning that NTP should be taken for granted as accurate?

Thank you, kind regards, and 73,

Under TX T.Ac. I can type Tone and it programs into the radio and works OK.
When I program the radio for tone and read it into the program, nothing shows up. 
Also, I can program a split frequency into the radio, but nothing shows on the program.
When I type ON into the program under Split and do Save And Active, it doesn't work.
When I click on TX Tone, it shows the tone chart.  I select a tone, then it gives a
list of DTCS, TONE, and TSQL.  It then fills the box with "TONE."  I repeat the process,
and then it takes the correct tone.  It's just erratic.

Ciao Mauro
sono Giorgio IV3FGB
e' possibile interfacciare il CAT con un programma di tracking satellitare in modo che che il software di tracking passi modo / frq up / freq dwn al IC7100 anche usando il remote server?
Grazie mille

Ciao, scrivo per la prima volta su questo blog.
Ho installato bblogger e successivamente CatBKT per il mio YAESU FT 897.
Dopo aver installato i driver del cavetto adattatore sembrava che il sw funzionasse, non dava errori e sincronizzava, ma non c'era nessuna vera comunicazione con RTX e ancora peggio TUTTI I TASTI DELLA RADIO SI SONO BLOCCATI !!
Ho provato a spegnere, riaccendere con il cavetto attaccato e staccato, ma niente da fare la radio è rimasta bloccata ( posso solo modificare la sintonia ) AIUTO.
Cosa mi consigliate fare ? A chi è già successo ? 
Grazie

I'm trying to get 7100BKT working with SDRUno and WSJT-X.  Omnirig doesn't seem to be working as the COM port interface client.  I'm using Silicon Labs CP210x USB bridge.  

SDRUno and rig connect, WSJT-X and 7100BKT connect using BKTNetInterface, but all 3 won't work together with or w/o Omnirig.

Appreciate any help...

Hello,
In BktTimeSync what are the functions of RTS and DTR?
On Computer RTS and DTR are outputs.
It makes sense and there a way to use PPS-Signal ( Pulse per Second) from GPS?  UART-USB-Conveter is a FTDI 232.

Hello,

Please can you help.??

I have GPS Chipset: U-blox 8 from Amazon: http://tiny.cc/UBLOX-8-GPS

I installed what I believe is the "standard" driver, it showed "COM4" in device manager.
I installed VisualGPSView and it immediately started working when I selected COM4
I let it run for a few hours, no issues.

I installed BkTimeSync and selected COM4, but it appears there is no detection of GPS.?
No data is showing in the GPS area of application window..??

Any suggestions would be appreciated.... Thank You

You can add this to the list of home made Icom CI-V cables .
I just made this one and it worked. I used a different kind of $2 usb to ttl board because I had one ( silicon labs CP210x is what it says )
Here is schematic - only need a resistor and diode.
