I can confirm that this is still the case with my final production retail purchased unit. The radio, unlike my other SB devices, sets the clock at boot time and from that point onward it will use its own low quality internal clock to keep time. I have seen mine drift as much as three minutes in a week which is wholly unacceptable. The desired behavior would be that at intervals (probably 24 hours or less) the radio goes back to the server (either local or internet) and resets its clock so that it is always in synch. I cringe to think what would happen if I let a couple of months plugged in without rebooting the radio, as the time would likely be off by 10 minutes or more, which is wholly unacceptable for a device I use to get me up in the morning. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72712 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
