Davenva probably needs the battery pack from the accessories kit to keep the clocks running no matter what. But with that, unless the server gets its time completely fubar, isn't the clock in the Radio local? driven from the operating system within the Radio itself? Sure, the radio needs a server or internet connection to get to a proper NTP server, but how much drift are you gonna get in a day? Maybe a few seconds, but nothing to worry about. While it is true that PC clocks leave a lot to be desired for accuracy, and the Radio not a PC but it sure is an embedded computer with an operating system. Its got to have the brains and power to do this as long as it has power.
