Thanks Wayne, Bill and Willis for your replies.
I suppose the battery could be bad - but this has been a consistent problem
since I assembled the Unit back in March. Could’ve been a bad battery out of
the box I suppose.
Willis - thanks for the perspective! Times have indeed changed (pun
In general, we have seen a variance of this amount on the clock since we first
started shipping K3s. Its in the normal range.

OK - Thanks Eric. Is there nothing the end-user can do to improve things -
such as leaving power applied to the K3, etc?

I bought a big La Crosse wall clock that updates
from WWV each night. Very easy to read and always
accurate. I never look at the clock in the K2, KX3
and K3.
Adding circuitry in the K3 to update its clock in
a similar fashion might be doable, but not by me
-- yet :-)

Not that I can think of. The battery keeps it running when power is removed and
its not particularly voltage sensitive.
Swapping the crystal for the clock might change it a bit, but of course that
could also go in the wrong direction.

Every room here has a 60 kHZ-synched WWVB clock. Have never looked at ...
or set ... the clocks in my K3 or KX3. Or the K2 if it has one. We have
an actual clock radio in the bedroom. (;-)
Trivia: The 60 kHZ xmtr NE of Fort Collins is a retired 100 kHZ LORAN C
xmtr from ND.

that I’ve looked at that update via WWV cannot be set to GMT!! I even asked
their support folks about it.

We don't do time changes here any more, always daylight saving time.
Last time I reset the clock in the car was four years ago. It's
currently 10 seconds slow.

Arien,
This is the one I have. It does set to GMT.

I'm feeling lucky (quite rare). My KX3 (just checked) was ~20s off my NTP
synced computers, and I set it about 3 months ago. I suppose it will drift
more over time, but it sounds like there is variance that exists between
units. How much do these clocks change over time in terms of
My K3's clock loses about 15 seconds per day. It's not a big deal because it's
easy to update from the K3 utility, but 15 seconds seems like quite a bit.
Maybe my expectations are too high?

This is an unusual amount of error; it's typically more like +/- 1 or 2
seconds/day. This may have come up in customer support, so I'd check there
first. I would suspect either the crystal or one of its associated capacitors.
