[Elecraft] Subject: Re: Clock chip

[David Anderson]

What is the KX3 command to the time? I could not see it in the Programmers reference, I suppose I could port sniff the serial port when using the KX3 utility to set the time.

I do have an Arduino that is tied to a GPS and is the shack LED clock, it wouldn't be hard to hook it to the KX3 when I wanted to set the clock accurately without using a computer. Just a fun thing to do.

I am fairly lucky my KX3 clock keeps reasonable time, but I am a Time Nut and do like clocks to be accurate.
