[Elecraft] K3 Clock loses time

[Phil Hystad]

I have not measured the accuracy of the clock but I expect it to lose time.  And, I never refer to it, never use it.  I have a big wall clock that above the K3 that tells me the time (actually, it does not "tell" me the time, I have to look at it) but it loses a good minute or two per week.  I let it get as much as several minutes in error before I bother to correct it.  My watch is pretty good though.  I set it about three times a year and I have never had it more than two-seconds from accurate Internet time.  It is a Citizen EcoDrive -- powered by light!

A corollary question:  who actually uses the K3 clock?
