K3 Ten Minute Timer

[Ron Durie SIL.org]

Is it be possible for the K3 FIRMWARE to provide a 10 minute timer function
using the Real Time Clock?

Could we have an option for 4 minutes as well? I prefer my eggs soft boiled. :)

What is the significance of ten minutes, Ron?  Surely it doesn't take
that long to boil an egg ;-)

One must ID every ten minutes so this is likely the case.

That's the amount of time from the first post for a connector holy war
or shipping schedule discussion to break out on the reflector :-)

The plus point of the side-bar wars is that no one has had the time to criticize
the K3 because it does SSB, or was that CW, or other datamodes?

Why, it does them all...shame on it...it gores all the oxen!

Ah, but it's every 15 minutes in the UK. Maybe this is what Eric/Wayne
meant when they said that each K3 would be configured for the country it
was being sent to.

Can the K3 tune in various time signals on HF, look at the delays from
each, triangulate, determine what country you're in, and then
automagically set the ID timer accordingly?

<ducking>  :-)
