What is the KX3 command to the time? I could not see it in the Programmers reference, I suppose I could port sniff the serial port when using the KX3 utility to set the time.
I do have an Arduino that is tied to a GPS and is the shack LED clock, it wouldn't be hard to hook it to the KX3 when I wanted to set the clock accurately without using a computer. Just a fun thing to do. I am fairly lucky my KX3 clock keeps reasonable time, but I am a Time Nut and do like clocks to be accurate. 73 David Anderson GM4JJJ > On 16 Feb 2015, at 00:26, Nick Kemp <[email protected]> wrote: > > An Arduino with a GPS could be programmed to update the clock via the serial > port for those who need perfect time. > > Nick > N1KMP > > > Walter Underwood wrote on 2/15/2015 6:05 PM: >> I rarely carry my computer on the trail, but I do carry my KX3. >> >> It would be nice if the KX3 Utility could trim the clock rate.
