How can a make my LH V6.1 clock show time equal to UTC time?  It is 18 seconds fast = to 18 second offset. Set up: Windoze 10 simple con fig file = /3  /rx  /tz=-4edst KS24361 - REF0 GPS UTC time in greenDate, Week, TOW in yellowDate 28 Jul 2021  ro Week 2160UTC ofs:18 in white When programming is running and I enter rxx/17 clock = UTC time but receiver has shut down. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help. 73, Bill, WA2DVUCape May, NJ

Hi 18 seconds fast sounds a lot like being set to GPS time vs UTC …… Bob > On Jul 28, 2021, at 6:04 PM, B Riches via time-nuts <time-nuts@lists.febo.com> wrote: > > How can a make my LH V6.1 clock show time equal to UTC time?

Bill, it is quite easy: When running LH type 'T', you will then see the list 'Reference' then hit 'U' for UTC-time. This should resolve the problem. I had the same effect before confusing on top left side is showing 'UTC ofs: 18' but this is only the information for the difference GPS/ UTC time I understand. But LH was still running with GPS-time setting. Hope this will help you. kind regards Arnold, DK2WT Am 29.07.2021 um 00:04 schrieb B Riches via time-nuts: > How can a make my LH V6.1 clock show time equal to UTC time?  It is 18 seconds fast = to 18 second offset. > Set up: > Windoze 10 > simple con fig file = /3  /rx  /tz=-4edst > KS24361 - REF0 GPS > UTC time in greenDate, Week, TOW in yellowDate 28 Jul 2021  ro Week 2160UTC ofs:18 in white > When programming is running and I enter rxx/17 clock = UTC time but receiver has shut down. > What am I doing wrong? > Thanks for any help. > 73, > Bill, WA2DVUCape May, NJ > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-leave@lists.febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there. >

Hi Arnold, I Tried that - hit t then u - clock program said resetting and will take a bid.  Still did not work.  Any other ideas? 73, Bill On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, 07:23:28 PM EDT, Arnold Tibus <arnold.tibus@gmx.de> wrote: Bill, it is quite easy: When running LH type 'T', you will then see the list 'Reference' then hit 'U' for UTC-time.

Bill, that does sound a bit strange, for me it looks like the program does not work correct at all. When I change this way between GPS time and UTC LH does immediately switch the time these 18 secs and does continue working without a resetting comment. Did you install this version 6 (the last is v. 6.14 beta) as described? You have to have installed v 5 before and then to follow the instruction for the beta version to install on top. John, KE5FX, does provide this released v. 5 on his homepage. The readme for the settings is in general still valid. See http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm I think in your case it will perhaps be a good idea to restart the full installation with v.5 and then proceeding as in the instruction to switch to the beta version. Mark Sims wrote:'This is just the .exe To use it you will need to have v5.0 installed and working (from ke5fx.com) and replace the v5.0 heather.exe file with this one (backup your old .exe first).' That should then work properly. I am running Win 10 pro 64 w/o any hazzle with LH 6.14. Good luck! 73 Arnold, DK2WT Am 29.07.2021 um 03:30 schrieb B Riches via time-nuts: > Hi Arnold, > I Tried that - hit t then u - clock program said resetting and will take a bid.  Still did not work.  Any other ideas? > 73, > Bill > On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, 07:23:28 PM EDT, Arnold Tibus <arnold.tibus@gmx.de> wrote: > > Bill, it is quite easy: > When running LH type 'T', > you will then see the list 'Reference' > then hit 'U' for UTC-time. > This should resolve the problem. > > I had the same effect before > confusing on top left side is > showing 'UTC ofs: 18' > but this is only the information > for the difference GPS/ UTC time I understand. > But LH was still running with GPS-time setting. > Hope this will help you. > > kind regards > > Arnold, DK2WT > > > Am 29.07.2021 um 00:04 schrieb B Riches via time-nuts: >> How can a make my LH V6.1 clock show time equal to UTC time?  It is 18 seconds fast = to 18 second offset. >> Set up: >> Windoze 10 >> simple con fig file = /3  /rx  /tz=-4edst >> KS24361 - REF0 GPS >> UTC time in greenDate, Week, TOW in yellowDate 28 Jul 2021  ro Week 2160UTC ofs:18 in white >> When programming is running and I enter rxx/17 clock = UTC time but receiver has shut down. >> What am I doing wrong? >> Thanks for any help. >> 73, >> Bill, WA2DVUCape May, NJ >> _______________________________________________ >> time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-leave@lists.febo.com >> To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there. >> > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-leave@lists.febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there. > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-leave@lists.febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there. >

Hi Arnold, Loaded V5 on another PC.  Did not load V6 yet.  Lucent not connected.  T and U change time correctly to utc. Connected Lucent - T and U would not change time.   With V5 John sent a link to his working Tbolt. When first opened it has the error.  T then U corrects the time. Looks like Lucent is the problem.  Rebooted it and it made no difference.  I have another lucent in the shop I will try. Strange. I thought that LH told Lucent to change time but now think LH does the heavy lifting from time code from Lucent since I can change tme from Johns tbolt. I am going to contact john and see if he has heard of lucent issues.  Thanks for your ideas - what GPS are you using?

Hi Bill, I have no knowledge of the interfaces and functions. I am with you, the problem seem to be with the device from Lucent. I am running successful the original Trimble Tbolt I got from Tom,TvB, (thanks again Tom!) now since long years. I am happy so far with it, a good base as 10 MHz reference for all my measurement eqipment. On top I do recalibrate my PRS10 with the 1PPS output from time to time. Recently I made a new survey for the antenna position on top of my roof, essential for good results. Easy to be done thanks to the unbeatable tool from Mark Sims! I wish you good results, 73 Arnold, DK2WT Am 29.07.2021 um 14:20 schrieb B Riches via time-nuts: > Hi Arnold, > Loaded V5 on another PC.  Did not load V6 yet.  Lucent not connected.  T and U change time correctly to utc. > Connected Lucent - T and U would not change time. > With V5 John sent a link to his working Tbolt.
