[Elecraft] K3S Time Display Bug

[Bob Martin]

It turns out that at least on the K3S, if you stay on one frequency for a long time, with the time showing in the VFO B area, that displayed time drifts slower and slower, losing 8 to 10 seconds (or more) over an hour.

This isn't RTC drift -- the RTC is fine -- it's the way the display processor keeps the time display in software. If you do a number of things such as changing bands, changing modes, or just tapping the DISP key, the displayed time is corrected to the RTC time.

This was reported as a bug, and verified, back in February.

While it's considered a medium priority, and it's more or less cosmetic, it's still a source of irritation. It bugs me.

I was hoping it would be fixed in the recent betas. It's still present in the recent September beta firmware release.

Any ideas on time frames for squashing this bug?

Love the radio, and trying to convince Santa that I deserve a P3...
