[Elecraft] K2Z - Anybody know reason for K2 RTC Update Delay??

Wed Apr 16 21:13:59 2003

Folks,

I've come across a K2Z beta tester with a delay in reponse to bringing up
the RTC - e.g. RTC delay when the DISPLAY button is pressed.

KZ2 now works around this situation by rechecking for the RTC display after
a a second or two before assuming there is no RTC.

However, I want to make sure the documentation covers this issue.

If anyone reading this knows exactly what combination of firmware and board
releases bight be the factor in this, could they let me know please?

Thanks,

Tony
