[Elecraft] KX3 Accuracy of clock

[Edward R Cole]

Not sure how all this commentary on computer time applies to the 
topic title.  My KX3 keeps perfect time since I did not buy the 
battery charger...no clock!  My $12 wrist watch has about 1 
second/year accuracy.

The K3 clock drifts over a week or so, but is easily corrected using 
the Utility program (on my computer).

My computer time is maintained by D4, which is a free download with 
no tinkering of registry required.  Install it, chose a time source 
and forget it.  I use tick.uso.navy.mil and pole it every minute 
(which is admittedly excessive).  For JT65 poling probably every ten 
minutes or a couple times per hour would be adequate (time needs to 
be <1 second error; mine never exceeds 0.020 second error).
