[Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

[Don Wilhelm]

But those modes are computer generated, and the computer clock can be 
easily sync'ed with a NIST standard.  I don't know why anyone would want 
to use a free-running clock for anything that requires that degree of 
accuracy.

The RTC in the K2 or the K3 is intended only for a logging convenience 
when no other timepiece is available.  I cannot believe it was ever 
intended to be a precision clock standard.  If you err in your log entry 
by 30 seconds, does anyone care?
