Won't ever be a big deal. For JT65 and JT9 it's the computer clock that
matters. My rigs RTC could be off by an hour and it won't effect the
timing of a JT65/JT9 QSO.It would matter if Elecraft decided to add
those modes to the radio for direct keying by the on board keyer (God I
hope not).

This is what I am currently doing... I have an NTP client running that
is keeping my laptop to within a few milliseconds....
Periodically, I shut down Win4K3 Suite and crank up the K3 Utility, and
sync the time...
It's a bit fidgety... don't always get a good sync... So the radio is
never more accurate than the computer, and seldom matches the computer
on sync to less than 1/10th of a second or so best case... luck of the
draw/random as to how close the sync ends up...
RIght now, not a big deal... but on some of the digital modes, I am
given to understand that having the time sync pretty close is key to
function...

Doesn’t the K3 Utility have a one-click process for setting the K3’s on-board
clock time to UTC Internet time? It doesn’t make the clock any more accurate,
but it does offer a way of resetting without getting into the configuration
menu. As I recall it’s in the KX3 Utility as well.

Virtually everyone has cellphone at hand and it will provide the most
accurate time commonly available.
