You can BUY an atomic clock to hang on your wall for less than $50 or you could just look at your PC and if you have it set up correct, see very accurate time information. I consider development of transceiver improvements MUCH more important than I do having engineers spend putting an accurate clock in a good transceiver. As a communications engineer I understand your 'need' for an accurate clock, however I think you are looking for it in a hobby item, inappropriate. 73, Tom - W4BQF K3-100F s/n 4521 - Alpha 9500 amp - 2 el 40m yagi and 16 el tribander >From the backwoods of Cecil, Ga.

I for one - a professional communications engineer - do not consider asking for a clock chip that keeps accurate time as a "childish request". The opposite - I consider it a necessity, and I consider having a clock that does not keep accurate time and/or display accurate time of day a detriment. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
