The original poster didn't tell us which radio, so I'm not sure how much I care.

The clock in my KX3 works fine, and I can use the KX3 receiver to tune in WWV (or any other time service around the world).

The typical battery powered "atomic clock" only checks the time service every 4 to 6 hours. Depending on where you live (including the RF environment) it may only sync every couple of days.

GPS will go from off to having the time in a minute or two, and as someone else noted, cell phones work well too (the cellular network gets time from GPS).

Personally, I use my computer clock, which syncs frequently via NTP.

Given the tiny size of "atomic clock" / WWVB devices ... as in wrist watches ... it would seem one could be integrated into both the K3 and KX3 and make the clock actually usable.
