Unnecessary, IMO. Beaclock.exe does exactly the same thing, in software,
and it's freeware. It does depend on your PC's clock to be accurate within
a second or two, but that isn't too demanding.
Contrary to some reports, the unit does NOT hear the beacons itself -- it
just listens to broadcast time signals and displays which beacons are
expected to be transmitting at a given time. You need to listen with your
transceiver to assess conditions.
