Phil,
I guess I am one of those don't care types much of the time :-) .
I have a watch on my wrist - it is used when I want to know what time it
is.
I for one have no use for a clock in a radio. If I am logging when
portable, my watch tells me all I need to know and does not take up
display space on the radio.
Usually I don't care what time it is unless I have an appointment - my
stomach tells me when it is time to eat. I am retired, and the work
that I do is on my own schedule.
I usually know where I am, but if not, I try first to consult with a map
- can't stand those GPS units that tell you what to do and where to turn
- give me a map where I can see my "to" and "from" and I can navigate
just fine, thank you.
73,
Don W3FPR
