[Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

The clock on my K3 isn't terribly accurate either.  But I've since learned
how to deal with it.  Pretty much every piece of electronics you buy these
days has a clock in it.  I've found absolutely zero correlation between the
accuracy of the clocks and the overall quality or cost of the equipment.
The worst clock here is in a $6K Agilent scope!

Here's how to get around it - ignore the clocks!  I don't even bother
setting them or changing for DST, etc.  The only two clocks I use in the
shack are the wall-mounted radio controlled clock and the computer/logging
clock which both adjust automatically and are plenty accurate for me  ;>)
