[Elecraft] Clock chip

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

The original poster didn't tell us which radio, so I'm not sure how much 
I care.

The clock in my KX3 works fine, and I can use the KX3 receiver to tune 
in WWV (or any other time service around the world).

The typical battery powered "atomic clock" only checks the time service 
every 4 to 6 hours.  Depending on where you live (including the RF 
environment) it may only sync every couple of days.

GPS will go from off to having the time in a minute or two, and as 
someone else noted, cell phones work well too (the cellular network gets 
time from GPS).

Personally, I use my computer clock, which syncs frequently via NTP.
