The battery powered Oregon Scientific clock I tried to sync for about 10 
minutes at a half-dozen different times each day.  The main reason 
appeared to be saving battery power by turning the receiver off.

Mine had an addendum that said they added a check at noon.  If the clock 
was many hours off, the "noon" check would happen at night and set the 
clock.
