Well, found that the battery that I used on the RTC backup was NG.
Measured it and it didn't have any B+. I had another of the same
size and now the battery backup works FB!
Also, as far as time keeping, it seems my radio looses about
1 second each min. In 1 hour 16 min. it was off by 1 min. 12 sec.
compared to WWV on 5Mhz.
Strange thing is, it must be looking at the RTC chip for an update
of the time when ever you change bands. Change bands and it 'resyncs'
to the WWV time that the RTC chip must be keeping. Seems that the
'software' clock is the 'looser'. Now that I have a good battery for
the RTC chip the RTC keeps good time!
Guess it might be something for the 'to do' list to check on the
clock software in the "ROS" - Radios operating system... :)
