Dick was just outlining the method a programmer would use to set the time,
the commands you would need to use. He was not giving you the actual
program. :) The implementation would be quite tricky. It is not just a
matter of sending a fixed sequence of commands to the radio. If there was
one command like ST23:59:59; it would be a lot easier.

Personally it doesn't seem worth the trouble. I didn't buy a K3 to have the
world's most expensive clock radio. In my shack I have a radio controlled
clock, on my wrist I wear a radio controlled watch, and my computer is also
synced to better than 1 second using NTP for the logging program. There are
more useful things the K3 VFO B can display, like the VFO B frequency or the
PA temperature.
