[Elecraft] KX3 Accuracy of clock

[Paul Meier]

I checked the time on my kx3 last night. After 5 weeks it hasn't changed or
maybe a few seconds. Did I get the bad one out of the batch!

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).
