The internal clock in the K3 was just not good enough without resetting regularly for even recording log times for CW QSOs on yes, believe it or not paper.
73 Doug EI2CN PS I am not looking for FT8 clock accuracy though that would be nice. -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bill Weaver Sent: 18 October 2019 23:46 To: David Gilbert; elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Dual panadapter on K4 at Pacificon I agree about it's utility :-). 73, Bill WE5P > > On Oct 18, 2019 at 18:31, David Gilbert <xda...@cis-broadband.com> wrote: > > > 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, Dave AB7E On 10/18/2019 2:59 PM, Bill Weaver wrote: > 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?
