Also, pity the poor clock/watch sellers who typically have thousands of time pieces to adjust each time they have to synchronize with the silliness. I'm thankful that I only need to adjust a few clocks and my watch. The clocks in most of the modern home electronic devices, such as VCRs, adjust themselves, as do all of my computers. By the way, the MFJ-121 "atomic" clock has dual 12/24-hour displays that are large and easily readable, but both time displays have to be either 12- or 24-hour. I'd like to have UTC show 24-hour and local show 12-hour time. And worse still, the clock auto adjusts for DT, but affects both times, so I still have to compensate the UTC display on the change-over dates. Some of my hand-written logs entries were off by an hour until I discovered the problem. 73, Gus Hansen KB0YH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
