KX3 Clock Not Keeping Time

I just finished assembling my new KX3 yesterday and I'm not sure if the
real-time clock is working correctly. I set the time, but when I turn off
the rig and turn it back on it's set to a completely different time. Am I
missing something?

Jock, N1JI

Re: KX3 Clock Not Keeping Time

Did you install battery charger/batteries and enable it?

Re: KX3 Clock Not Keeping Time

Yes, and I've tried disabling/Enabling it a few times. Whenever I turn the radio on, the clock starts at 00:68:00 then the seconds count up to 00:69:00. After another minute it's at 01:00:00 and it goes on from there.

Thanks

Re: KX3 Clock Not Keeping Time

Do you have batteries installed in your KX3?
If not, there is no power to keep the time clock running when you power
the KX3 off.

Re: KX3 Clock Not Keeping Time

Yes. I've got eight new ni-mh batteries installed (2400 ma-hours each) and the battery charger option was able to charge them successfully.

Thanks & 73
