Calibrate the QMX's time through Android APP(FT8TW)


 

I wanted to try using WSPR, but every time I reboot, I have to set the time on the QMX again. A friend told me there's a GPS module that can help calibrate the QMX's time. I thought to myself¡ªmy phone already has GPS, so why buy an extra GPS module just to set the time on the QMX? So, I added a feature to calibrate the QMX's time through FT8TW.

I watched this video and downloaded and set up the software.? The software communicates with my QMX as it is able to set the frequency.? However when I press "SYNC TIME" my QMX clock display area does not update.? I get the message on phone app, "Using GPS for time synchronization"? "Synced. Local Clock is 575 milliseconds behind"

QMX settings for Clock is "Software"

Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps you downloaded ver 0.93 instead of ver 0.93a of the app.
You are describing the prior app behavior.

Hi.
The QMX must be in WSPR beacon mode.

Stan,

That was the problem.? I downloaded 93a and it works.? I guess one should not assume that the version at the top of the download page is the most current one :-)
