I'm kinda lost here, I thought this thread started with the K3 clock losing
time - what's RTC? - Is it Real Time Clock, in which case, that's what it
is. If you meant Radio Time Control, that it is not afaik.
So I don't believe this rig is picking up time signals from anywhere?
Someone put me
If you have or get a K3, you don't need to learn to fly !

Hello David,
Let me try to clear up what I was trying to say..
This is what I think is happening:

I built my Kent paddle from the kit also.
I think I got one of the last before Alpha Delta became US distributor.

I've been surprised that after all the dial spinning my rig has

My K3 which I ordered June 13th should be coming soon.
My present rigs are K2/100 SN 1031 and an IC-746PRO. I plan to keep both
of them as the K2 is great for my camping and I have it set up for my
XYL WD0EWM in her new shack. The IC-746PRO is my 2 meter all mode
station and will be a backup
padded down for the IC-746PRO and if so how much? The other
problem is how can I make sure I never accidentally transmit
RF back into the K3 from the IC-746PRO as it does not have a
receive only antenna jack.
Use the RX Antenna input on the 746Pro.
