Hi again,

I forgot to say that I'm using Keysoft 7.5 build 27, and that I'm in the UK, which may explain why it's working here but not in the US.

Best,

Peter

Hi all,
I just got done running a couple small tests.  the results i found are
below.
All machines were set to eastern time with daylight savings set to on.
1. BrailleNote QT running ks 7.5 build 28 set the system time
correctly.

2. BrailleNote BT running ks 7.5 build 28 set the system time
correctly.
3. BrailleNote PK running ks 7.5 build 27 set the system time,
incorrect, it was an hour behind.

4. VoiceSense running it's latest firmware set the time correctly.

The QT, PK and VoiceSense used the same receiver to conduct the test.
Hope this helps.
Chris
