Yes you do need access to an ntp server unless you build up the real time clock.<br><br>I will report that my test system with the real time clock (no ntp updates) has kept excellent time. It has gained about 15 seconds in a month of operation. This is however at a fairly constant 72 degree F room temperature. It is certainly better to use ntp if you can.<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div>> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 16:53:20 +0000<br>> From: gm4upx@gb7jd.co.uk<br>> To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>> Subject: [arm-allstar] Frustrated by time ???<br>> <br>> I thought I would share this :-<br>> <br>> If, like me, you have tried to change the time in Arch after a reboot <br>> because the date/time has gone back to 2000 and each time you try you <br>> fail as the system won't let you for one reason or another, the cure is <br>> simple.<br>> <br>> Yesterday I tried all the suggested cmds [ ntpdq -p ] etc. but none <br>> would work.<br>> <br>> I have a PC router with three network cards in it and unbeknown to me <br>> the one that connected me to the outside world had failed; as soon as I <br>> got it working the time " magically " was back to normal.<br>> <br>> Moral of story; the fault is not always where you think it is..
