I guess I misunderstood. I thought your commands would collect the Time data and send it to the radio.

The K3 commands involved are K31; MN073; DS; SWT11; UP; or DN; SWT12; UP; or DN; SWT13; UP; or DN; and MN255; Recent versions of Windows (certainly XP and beyond) include an NTP client that can synchronize with one of several NTP servers. You right click the time in the status bar, choose "Adjust Date/Time", select the "Internet Time" tab, optionally provide an alternate NTP server and punch the "update now" button. No special NTP client code is required to get to the accuracy necessary for this sort of task.

The software could check an internet time server and update the K3 as necessary. 73 de Terry KK6T SM6TUW wrote: >> While on the subject of time, where is the oscillator that is used by >> the built-in clock on the K3? >> > > Front panel board. > > >> Is it adjustable? >> > > No. Sorry... > > 73, > Lyle KK7P > > I consulted the data sheet for the clock circuit PCF8563T (U16 in the K3 > circuit diagram ) You can adjust the average deviation over one year less > than +- 5 minutes.
