I've noticed the same issue (running Meinberg's build of NTP) with the
same amateur radio program where the PC is a certain number of seconds
off (4 or 6 or so or whatever but on the order of what the OP
reported).  A restart of NTP "fixes" it.  This happens after a cold
boot and even if I let the system run for an hour, NTP never fixes
things.

You've reminded me that I need to check if I did, in fact, disable the
Windows Time service (whatever it is on W10).  That's much more likely
to be the issue rather than NTP.
