The internal clock in my KX3 (Which I set a week ago when I received my radio from the UPS man) is off by 9 seconds from the clock in my MacBook Pro (Which I just checked and it is set to the time coming from time.gov.) My wrist watch is off by some 30 or so second. Would I like for all of them to agree on time, yes. is it a deal breaker, no.
If I need to check the time I'll just tune to WWV. As long as the time is close, that's enough for me. 72, Joshua Gould K8WXA EM89pn KX3# 7465 On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 11:16 AM, David Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the KX3 command to the time?
