PowerSDR interferes with Meinberg NTP
PowerSDR appears to interfere with the Meinberg network time protocol (NTP). Has anyone observed this? When running WSJTX digital modes / JT-65, it is important to have the computer time synchronized. I observe that it is well synched when I first start the radio and WSJTX. I often leave it running all day and notice that the time synch slowly drifts out of synch. After much experimentation I find that I can resynchronize it by briefly stopping and restarting PowerSDR. Stopping other programs and restarting the Meinberg NTP do not help.
I am running:
brand name quad core PC with Windows 7 64 bit home premium
PowerSDR 2.7.2
Flex 5000A
WSJT-X v 1.1
Meinberg NTP
Thanks,

I dont use Win 7 or Power SDR ( 6300 SSDR user ) but in Win 8 I had to set the meinberg < ntpd.exe > task priority to "real time " in order to solve a similar problem.

Thanks Neil. I did that and it seems to be holding synch now. I had forgotten how much fun it is to read Unix documentation.
