I use the clock on the K3 as I no longer have a wristwatch and prefer 
not to have to pick up the iPhone to get the time. Those that don't need 
the clock can simply tap DISP and it will go away.

I also use***MAIN: Alarm, Yes* on occasion to remind me of a net. *MAIN: 
Alarm* will also turn your rig ON at a preset time.

New feature request: *MAIN: Alarm, Tap 4* to toggle a slightly audible 
dit every ten minutes as a reminder to ID.

The clock on my K3 has been consistently slow since new, about 5 seconds 
per 24 hours. My preference is that it be a little more accurate, 
perhaps something closer to a quartz watch. Nothing too elaborate, not 
perfect, but more accurate than what we have now. Atomic clock accuracy 
or an external reference would be overkill on the K3.
