[Elecraft] Programmable access to KXBC3 clock?

[Terje Elde]

Hi,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to get programmable access to reading and/or setting the KXBC3 internal RTC (real time clock), through the serial interface?

If not, that would probably make for a nice feature request?

I checked the programmers manual and the KXBC3 manual, but I must have missed it if any such feature is mentioned there.

Examples of where this would be useful include being able to set the clock whenever the KX3 is connected to a computer with a good GPS or NTP synchronised clock, to avoid any drift or similar issues.

For reading, it would be a nice capability to logging dongles or similar projects, allowing to grab almost all of information of a QSO, for easier logging later.  It’s already easy to grab the frequency etc, but putting that information on a timeline would be even better.
