| How to set the clock on your laptop using the IC-705's built in GPS - VK3FS If you have no internet and need to set your laptop clock accurately for FT8 because the DT error is too great, you can use the built-in GPS in the Icom IC-705 to set your clock. It's just one of the many applications the IC-705 is capable of. A lot of amateurs are taking FT8 into the field with just a laptop, an antenna, and of course, an IC-705. Getting out of the shack and into the great outdoors is something that most amateurs aspire to. The allure of a quiet RF environment free of city noise can incentivise most amateur radio operators to go bush. Taking your hobby with you adds a little something to the great outdoors. Even operating in the local park on a warm sunny day away from the noise of suburbia can be very rewarding. https://youtu.be/Fm7CddCzWrs |
