If I understand what you're asking, in the UK we are GMT (+0) at end October to end March. In the other months we're GMT +1, that we refer to as BST (British Summer Time)

Ah @andrew s already posted!

are you asking in regard to entering the time/zone into a goto controller?

In which case we are always GMT (+-0 - we always are in fact) and you set DST if we are currently doing that silliness.

All year round I leave DST set to OFF, and always enter GMT.

If you're still confused, before setup just google for "Current Time GMT", then you'll know whether or not to subtract an hour from the time on your time source when you come to enter the time.

The way I remember it is 'spring forward, fall back' , as in the American version of fall.

As the saying implies, winter is GMT, which is the proper time, summer time is an hour forward (or added).

For a Synscan handset we are always GMT 0. When it asks for Daylight saving, in winter ie, now, the answer is no, when the clocks go forward the answer is yes. That’s all you need to know. In England we are always 0 because time zones are set from Greenwich in England.

So if you’re inputting a time into Synscan, always put the time on your watch/iPhone or whatever you are using, always put GMT as 0 and if the clocks have gone back answer “no” to daylight saving and if the clocks have gone forward to BST answer “yes”......Do not alter the time yourself, always enter the time as it appears on your watch/iPhone etc

If you're unsure, the SyncscanInit App on your (android) phone will give you the location and  the time/zone data to enter into the  handset in exactly the right format
