Hi James,

How far away is your computer clock from what it should be ? Setting it 
manually as well as you can should make time setting software work much better.

The line "2. GPS time not set: lck 00:03 diff:0adj:0 sats:2/14 5:1E:0" seems to 
indicate that you are only receiving two satellites. That is not enough. You 
may need to get more clear sky above your GPS receiver.

If, as Dave says, WinSDR crashes when it gets confused about the time then 
that's a bug which Larry could perhaps have a look at.

Regards
Mark
