[Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

[Mark]

Re:  "...the clock seems to lose a couple of minutes per month."

I didn't buy the KXBC3 for the clock, and I don't expect it to automatically sync with WWV or GPS, but mine seems to be sensitive to applied voltage:

If I leave 14v applied to my KX3, it gains a few seconds per day, probably not far off what yours loses,  Erik.  If l remove the 14v supply and store the KX3 in my day pack for a week or more, it will be an hour or more off next time I check it.  I can't remember if it gains or loses though.  I need to quantify that a bit better.

It works, but certainly isn't up to the level of performance we usually see from Elecraft.
