The life where I try to balance family, IT work, video games, and whatever. I'll probably post a lot about work, family, news, politics, and odd things that I see or happen.Joseph Durnalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04615746078527284652noreply@blogger.comBlogger643125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681917.post-9301086511323064172019-03-20T17:53:00.000-04:002019-03-20T17:53:03.816-04:00Windows Time Service Configuration for Amateur (ham) RadioMicrosoft has had a built in time service since at least Windows 2000 but it isn't exactly easy to use.

A lot of progress has been made. I've completed the soldering! I'm just waiting for a time to power it up and test. I want to have several hours dedicated just in case something else is wrong and I have to figure it out and fix it.

Introduction
The Whistler TRX-1 Digital Scanner Radio Handheld is one of the latest on the
market and one of the few if not only scanners available that does DMR (Digital
Mobile Radio) and NXDN (Next Generation Digital Narrowband) modes, as well as
Project 25 Phase 1 & 2. Overall, I
am pleased with this scanner and would buy it again knowing everything that I

The only thing that has ever caused a problem for me when creating trust relationships is network connection issues, firewall, routing, etc. This week, what was planned to be a routine forest trust didn't work.

While it sounds like a good idea on its surface, I also consider why the founding fathers did not write term limits into the Constitution of the United States.

Many people often complain that representatives and senators should be term limited, only being allowed to serve a set number of terms sort of like the president. The only way for congress to be term limited is through one or more constitutional amendments.
