Tried to set up a certain time to monitor some specific calls or areas. It seemed to promote “AM” and “PM”, but yet specifies Zulu time. Only when I exited out did it show Zulu. Might it be better to keep Zulu consistent throughout as the AM/ PM is confusing and not correlating with Zulu anyway?

That depends on your browser and system locale. In my browser, it shows up in 24 hour mode. As far as I know, it is unfortunately not possible to force HTML time input fields to 24 hour mode regardless of the user’s locale.

This has now been fixed.
