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.

The flip side of that is with ntp being around since the stone age and the K4 having that feature implicitly, why not have it dead on? I have to use a 3rd party program to keep windows close which is a joke in the 21st century.

I've never understood the obsession with clocks and clock accuracy on
the K3/K3s/K4 series of rigs, yet it keeps popping up here from time to
time.  I would think that 98+% of the operations with these rigs
involves the use of computer logging programs, almost all of which
boldly, conspicuously, and accurately display the time and autolog it.
I could see the need for it on a KX2 or KX3, but why is it such a big
deal on the base stations?

Just curious.  I'm a long time K3 owner and I never use the internal clock.
