[Elecraft] K3: Date and Time Problem

[W1GD at aol.com]

My K3 (1428) has had a problem maintaining date  and time information when 
the power is off. Since I didn't buy my K3 to be a  $3000 clock/calendar, this 
is not a big problem but a minor annoyance.   When I turn the power off and 
turn it back on the date normally goes to  "12.19.01" (US Format) and the Time to 
"15:11:22" although the last four digits  are normally different. The battery 
is not shorted and seems to be able to  retain VFO memories and other setting 
just fine.I just installed the  sub-receiver, but this problem was there 
since I first built the K3 in August  2008.  I haven't seen any threads of a 
similar problem so any suggestions  would be appreciated.

Tnx,

Gerry, W1GD
