ATS120P utc time

[ad_up]

Hello, Binns,I am a Chinese buyer of ATS120P. As shown in the figure below, in FT8 digi mode, the UTC time obtained from each network connection is 8 hours later than China Standard Time. Can this situation only be manually modified through SET each time? Or are there other ways to do it once and for all?

UTC time is the time in the zero time zone. This time will always be different from what is currently in your location. For FT, time in the zero time zone is always used. Other locations may display your local time. To do this, you need to add your city and select a time zone for it. This can be done in MEMO -> CITY

Прошу прощения, что вмешиваюсь в чужой разговор, но считаю важным дополнить ответ уважаемого Binns - вдруг, кто не знает...

Дело в том, что не только в FT8, но и при любом радиолюбительском трафике (а FT8 - только один из видов такового), время всегда считается по UTC. И даже при занесении в журнал связи в режиме SSB, время точно так же записывается по UTC

Thank you for Binns' answer and Spoiler's supplement. I have a small question. I noticed that there is a BatteryCharge definition in the setup.ini file. If I want ATS120p to display the charging status, how can I modify and enable this definition?

ad_up, This will require hardware modification. An example is posted in the topic of modifying the original receiver circuit on this forum
