[Elecraft] Real time clock in KDSP2

This shouldn't be the case. I just checked my unit and it keeps and displays
time with the DSP in bypass mode.  When you return to a time display, you
have to wait for the polling loop to occur from the K2 - meaning leave it
alone for a couple seconds - so the display will update.  It will
*initially* display the last time you looked rather than the current time,
then refresh itself.

You have to be careful when you invoke the time display from the bypass menu
that you don't accidentally re-enable the DSP.

I confirmed it was still in bypass mode by observing the current in the E/I
display (and of course by listening :-)

If you have done all of this, I would be interested in a more complete
description of the problem (e.g., the clock runs at 1/2 speed or it doesn't
update the hours or?)

I never use CW memories, but the KAF2 should do the same thing.  The KDSP2
uses the same facility from the K2 as the KAF2 RTC feature.

Hope this helps,
