I'm feeling lucky (quite rare). My KX3 (just checked) was ~20s off my NTP synced computers, and I set it about 3 months ago. I suppose it will drift more over time, but it sounds like there is variance that exists between units. How much do these clocks change over time in terms of cycles/accuracy? I'm not familiar with crystal based clocks and their operation by any means, hence the question, as reading some responses it sounds like it will change.
