[KX3} Accuracy of clock

[Arno Dienhart-2]

Your deviation appears to be WAY off! Something else must have caused this
that is different from the normal deviation.

 

E.g., it has probably been a couple months since I reset my clock and it is
about 30 seconds fast now. Still annoying when you need it to be precise.
But then, Don has a point to reset it before you venture on that mission
that requires precise time.

With certainty, a 4200+ second deviation in a week's time is pathological
and should not be dismissed with only set-it-if-you-need-accurate-time
advise.

Something abnormal has caused it.  Time it again over a week to see if
it's hardware, or something that you might have inadvertently caused.

Mine will drift a few minutes over a few weeks, but I do agree that 4200s
in one week points at a problem somewhere.
