[Elecraft] FWIW: Why there's a real-time clock in the K3

[Wayne Burdick]

I do manual logging when the PC is turned off. I also use the "ALARM"  
function of the K3 to remind me when it's time to stop doing email and  
start a contest.

I don't wear a watch since they tend to get snagged on things. Most  
also conduct electricity, and my hand is often buried inside a rig. I  
don't want one of those $19 brushed-aluminum 24-hour clock thingies  
that sits on top of the rig, especially when operating portable. My  
iPhone tells time pretty well but stays in my pocket. I can't see the  
wall clock with my glasses off.

+/- 2 seconds per day is just inaccurate enough to remind me to tune  
into WWV about once a month :)

73,
