[Elecraft] K3 Clock loses time

This is a subject I have not seen before on the net. I have noticed that the clock on my K3 loses a few seconds every day. Is this normal and has anyone else noticed this?   Jon WA6LJS __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Clock loses time

I calibrate my K3 clock to the computer every couple of weeks and it is never more than 15 seconds off or so. This has been addressed before on the list serve. Hope this helps. - Brian, op K1NW -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Clock loses time

I have not measured the accuracy of the clock but I expect it to lose time. And, I never refer to it, never use it. I have a big wall clock that above the K3 that tells me the time (actually, it does not tell me the time, I have to look at it) but it loses a good minute or two per week. I

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Clock loses time

I only vaguely remember how to find the clock display on my K3, just did, and it is about 1 year and a week off. I don't remember when I last set it. Likewise with the clock in the K2. I never look at them. I'm currently building a 40-station irrigation controller for my Kamikaze Gardener

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Clock loses time

I use it to make sure I've got the right UTC -- local time offset. My iPhone also knows UTC. Oh, and RUMlog also knows UTC. I probably don't use it more than two or three times a year. I set it to my computer's time every time I run the K3 utility, which is at least every time I hear on this

I use it constantly to make sure I figure the utc hour correctly for paper log entries. It loses time. I just set it forward and put it a couple minutes ahead. I think I adjust it every few months, maybe even six months. Not a issue for me. I had to think a minute how to change the minutes so
