Ditto! Well, actually, I did once have an accurate (for its day) clock on my receiver, my HQ-170AC, back in or about 1964 to 1967. Being run by a synchronous motor, the local power company had the job of keeping my clock accurate (feature of AGC controlling ACE and Frequency).
But, today, in my opinion of course, a clock on a radio is a feature that I would exchange for a half dozen or more other features better suited to using the radio itself. Yes, there is a clock feature on my K3 and it is very thoroughly ignored by me. 73, phil, K7PEH > On Aug 28, 2016, at 8:21 AM, Phil Wheeler <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think you overreact a bit, Mike.
