Not sure how all this commentary on computer time applies to the topic title. My KX3 keeps perfect time since I did not buy the battery charger...no clock! My $12 wrist watch has about 1 second/year accuracy.

The K3 clock drifts over a week or so, but is easily corrected using the Utility program (on my computer).

My computer time is maintained by D4, which is a free download with no tinkering of registry required. Install it, chose a time source and forget it. I use tick.uso.navy.mil and pole it every minute (which is admittedly excessive). For JT65 poling probably every ten minutes or a couple times per hour would be adequate (time needs to be <1 second error; mine never exceeds 0.020 second error).
