An Arduino with a GPS could be programmed to update the clock via the serial port for those who need perfect time.

It would be nice if the KX3 Utility could trim the clock rate. It can read it 
and set it. If it recorded the last time the clock was set, it could set a 
drift correction, assuming that the clock chip supports that.

All required timely functions are met with the managing PC, updated every 15 minutes
