Re: [Elecraft] Radio clocks, internet and security!

I follow those who counsel and implement "caution" with all the modern/current internet connections and digital wonders. Just because something is possible doesn't mean it's wise. I have had one - yes, one - virus infection in 34 years of being online with minimal firewall and virus

Re: [Elecraft] Radio clocks, internet and security!

A zillion years ago, I was maintaining some “groupware” for engineers at HP (Notesfiles). I was amazed to learn that some people used a different set of commands than I did. They found some bugs in those clearly superfluous commands. Despite their obviously mistaken approach to using the

Chuck and all, How many actually use the clock in the K3, K3S, KX3 or KX2? I certainly don't. In the case of the KX3 it is used to time the charging of the internal batteries - good use. I can see a ham without a watch or cell phone to want the rig to display the time for logging, but for
