Yes its quite common. The clocks are always off by sometime and generally never account for winter and summer time. Lastly ooops the ole batteries dead or corroded. In Broadcast facilities all of the clocks are actually driven by synchronized time codes. Either LTC or IRIG. The clocks can be either analog or digital. Being a time nut numbers of my clocks run on LTC and I have used IRIG. Silly. I know.
But what I can say is as mentioned the new ultraclocks should be very very good over the troublesome AM units. I used the CME8000 chip for quite some time supporting some testing. Essentially logging when it did or didn't obtain complete sentances. Boy did it work.
