I guess I have never understood why a clock on a radio was important. I guess unless you use it for automatic wake up or something. But, the one clock I wish I had was the clock for my old Hammarlund HQ-170A which needs a clock. I would never use it, it just needs to fill the space.
I hate clocks on appliances. We have three digital clock read outs on our appliances in the kitchen (microwave, stove/oven, and fridge) and it is impossible to keep them all the same time. Having them different bugs me to no end. And, I prefer they did not exist. But, isn't the clock on the KX3 a mere side effect and not a front line feature. I mean, the battery charger needs a clock for those timed charge intervals but who would use the KX3 clock readout. OK, off of my soapbox drivel... 73, phil, K7PEH On Dec 4, 2013, at 8:40 AM, Paul Meier <[email protected]> wrote: > I checked the time on my kx3 last night.
