Radarbox always display the time received from aircraft, which is UTC.  The only thing you can change is in Preferences, to use local time in MyLog.

I think you will find that aircraft don't actually send a timestamp as part of any Mode S or ADS-B messages - adding that is (optionally) down to the receiving/decoding application.

That's what I meant to say!!  I was just a bit too brief with my words :(

where can you amend the my log time in preferences? simon

I'm not at my main PC at the moment, but it's somewhere in Preferences.  A tick box called something like "Use local time in MyLog".  I'm sure you'll find it.
