Gary,
I can't answer for the accuracy of the clock, but if I depended on the
accuracy of the clock, I would set it just prior to any outing. The
short term accuracy should be sufficient for logging, but the long term
accuracy may not be so great.
Compare it to a computer clock. There is a reason that the computer OS
re-syncs the clock with a NIST time standard occasionally - that
compensates for drift in the clock. With the KX3 (or other transceiver
clocks), you must do that manually.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how accurate is the clock on KX3? The reason I ask
is because I activated a local SOTA peak last weekend and did another
peak this weekend. After setting the clock accurately last weekend, I
did not think about checking it this weekend but half way through this
weekend's activation I noticed my UTC time setting was 1hr and 17 mins
off! While it was easy enough to correct the log, is the clock
expected to drift this much in a week?
Aside, from this KX3 working really well on the hills with AlexLoop.
