K3S Time Clock

[Bob Novas]

I set the time display in my brandy new K3S to WWV yesterday to within 1
second.  Today it's 7 seconds slow.  Is there anyway to adjust this?  I hope
it's not using the reference TCXO!  The frequency was and is spot on WWV at
15MHz.  Thanks, Bob, W3DK

Hi Bob,

The RTC's clock is supposed to be calibrated at the factory to something far better than this. Please contact customer support.

The K3S front panel board has a trimmer on the RTC crystal, so if you have a counter you could attempt to dial it in yourself. The frequency is supposed to be 32,768.0 kHz.

No doubt a familiar number for those of us with only two toes. :-)
