[Elecraft] Dual panadapter on K4 at Pacificon

[David Gilbert]

Yeah, I understand that.  If you're going to have a clock it might as 
well be accurate.  I just don't understand why anyone cares about the 
clock to start with.  At least not unless or until Elecraft enables some 
embedded app in the K4 that needs it.  I doubt anyone needs +/- a couple 
seconds accuracy for anything that would involve manually transcribing 
the time from the rig.

Agree about Windows.  When I power on my Win10 laptop that I use for FT8 
the damn thing is about 2.5 seconds off until Meinberg decides to step 
in and fix things.  Pretty sad.

73,
