Looks like this is an issue with the PK, Chris has tried it on two mPowers both of which set the time correctly but on his PK the time was off by 1 hour, so I assume Claude you are running on a PK, and yes it probably has the same issue in the fall, but seriously how often do you set your BN to GPS time?

I know this is a low priority however can you or someone check this out and
see what can be done about it.  I foresee it being a Problem in the fall
also.  I am surprised that I didn't identify this last fall, but there was a
upgrade since then.

Hi Claude,
I am somewhat surprised that this is occurring, I know Rob during the last
Keysoft release put in some fixes to address this very issue, but who knows.
The main problem is the US congress's change to when Daylight savings occurs
here in the USA and Canada.  I am thinking that after the "normal" day for
daylight savings has passed this issue would resolve itself (but for that
2-3 week period the time would be off by an hour).

Sorry about this folks, not much I can do, I tell Keysoft what the GMT time
is from the GPS receiver and it is up to the BrailleNote to set its internal
clock correctly.  I guess I would make sure you have the latest version of
Keysoft, and if you do and its still happening then I am at a loss, I guess
try again in a few days when the originally scheduled DLS is soposto kick in
(not sure exactly what day that would be) and that hopefully will resolve
this issue.

Charles.
