Erik,

If you want to experiment with trimming the oscillator for the clock, you can try varying the capacitance of C7 and C8 on the KXBC3 option board.

Nominal capacitor values are +/- 5%, so you may be able to find suitable capacitors that vary a bit from the nominal 15pF value that will set your RTC "right on". A few pF either side will likely make a significant difference.

Again, a bit of experimentation will be in order to get it exactly correct. The actual capacitor value can vary from the nominal value by 0.75pF and still be in-spec, so only add/subtract a bit at a time.

Monitoring the results over a long time period can be tedious work, but if you want it "spot on", it may be worth the effort for you.
