What is the correct method to determine the value to enter into the Offset box when using GPS? My GPS reports both GPS and UTC in the NMEA messages.

Hi,

I am testing the IC7000BKT to remotely control mi rig. So far it works good but I don't see how to control the RIT.

Can you help please. Thanks.

I've noticed that lately, the program flashes a message that it is restarting. What is going on?

Does not seem to be a problem, but I have noticed multiple icons for the program in the taskbar. They seem to clear themselves.

I'm using the GPS to keep my PC clock on track for JT65-HF. However, I get occasional messages that the USB connection is lost, and I have to close bkttimesync and reopen it to restore the connection. I have power settings set to keep the USB alive, and thought that would cure the problem.

Anything else I should try, or is it something with the program?

I'm using Win 7 64bit Home Premium. Hardware is 2013 MacMini with 16Gb and native Windows boot. The GPS is a ublox 5 from Microsoft Streets and Trips. I can usually see 8 or more sats with this device...
