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.

Is available for download :

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...

IZ2BKT: How was the coffee?

Tried to set an HF channel 7.215Mhz on LSB.
So I've got
VFO-A 7.215,000
Mode-A LSB
Filter-A Off
VFO-B 7.215,000
Mode-B LSB
Filter-B Off
Split NOSPLIT
DUP NODUP
Tone OFF
TSQL Off
Tone blank

Sync with the radio....but when I select the channel from the radio or through bkt is comes up FM.
If can select LSB from the bkt control panel...just doesn't work from memory chanells.
I'm on version 4.13.1

When ever I try to download the BKT Server II, my Norton antivirus is completely stopping and deleting the software with a dangerous warning and preventing any form of download at this point. What next?

I am trying to setup for remote control, but I can not find BKT server anywhere. I have look online, and in the program files on the hard drive. How do I get BKTserver?

It has been a long time sinse I have used the remote control. I see many things have changed. How do it set up for this. I am going to use LAN for the linking. A lynksys RG45 with desktop as main computer running the radio. and a laptop with wireless card...I am at a total loss as what to do anymore.
Step by step instructions would be great.

BkTimesyn has been working for me for some months now without problems. However today I cannot get a syn and get this error

Failed to retreive time from NTP server ntp1.inrim.it on port 123, GetLastError returned 10060
Any advice please?

Are there any compatibility problems with any of the cheap USB GPS receivers on eBay, etc? (I intend to use it with jt65-hf.)
Any critical specs other than SIRF III?

Is there a recommended brand or model?
