DX Monitor will automatically obtain the current UTC time based on the US Naval Observatory official clock from one of the many Public Time Servers available on the internet.


Local settings

These parameters will allow http protocol transactions through your proxy server. Time retrieval is done using TCP protocol via Port 37. Your firewall may not be configured to allow this access. In many cases, you can obtain the correct time by entering the IP address of your proxy server, which itself should be correcting its system time from another time server, or using a GPS receiver. Contact your system administrator for further information or to change the configuration. If your firewall prevents this access, leave the server entry blank on the Time tab of the settings.

Note: When the settings window is open, all automatic updating by DX Monitor stops. This is to prevent problems caused by changing parameters while an update is in progress which could cause loss of data or a program crash.
