Re: [Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

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 to less than +- 5 minutes. Adjustment of one capacitior (C60) is required though. http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/datasheets/PCF8563_6.pdf Jan --

Dick Can you tell me what CAT command is available to set date/time . I don't see it documented in the programming manual. 73, Laurent -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Clock-Accuracy-tp5218803p5227456.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at

Re: [Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

It is a series of K3 commands. The K3 utility emulates what you would do from the front panel. The commands used are SWT to tap various switches, MNxxx to open the config:time menu, DS to read the VFO A display, and UP and DN to change the hours, minutes, and seconds to match your time source.

Re: [Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

Dick Thank you. This is the way the K3 utility sets up the clock and I never noticed since it is very fast. I will emulate same commands. Laurent F6DEX -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Clock-Accuracy-tp5218803p5228198.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list

Re: [Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

Hello A suggestion for Wayne/Eric : 1) a CAT command to update the clock so that third party software can update constantly at least once at each seession. 2) a MENU to correct time error 73, Laurent F6DEX -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

CAT commands have always been available that can be used to set the K3 Date and Time. This is how the K3 Utility sets the date and time to match the PC clock. Dick, K6KR Sent from my iPhone On Jun 26, 2010, at 1:44 AM, Laurent F6DEX f6...@yahoo.fr wrote: Hello A suggestion for

Over here, I don't think the new rail companies know what a clock or a watch is! I must be lucky, my clock has only lost 5 minutes in 5 months. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes a wrong one. The more active and swift the latter is, the

Re: [Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

Not that I'm complaining about the clock or criticising those that want more accuracy, but there was a time, a long time ago, when people didn't have clocks or watches, and even when they got clocks, they were very inaccurate - the first clocks didn't have minute hands! I kinda think they were
