Thanks Peter

I am familiar with timing issues. I had an old FitPC2 with a battery that was giving out. On the old FitPCs you can only change the battery by opening the case and soldering a new one in place. Needless to say I have yet to attempt that and replaced the FitPC.

With the old one, the clock would gain about 18 seconds each minute. Even a time service that polled the pc every minute couldn't cope with the drift in RA.

I'll look into your suggestion anyway

Pete
