Time Date Update

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Now is the time to use the Elecraft K3 Utility to update the clock and
calendar on your K3 or K3S.    Open the K3 Utility application, select
the Configuration tab and then tap the Set K3 Date and Time bar.    This
will set the K3 to the computer which we all know is kept updated with a
good time/date application.

Happy New Year to all.

73

Bob, K4TAX

My RTC rolled over to 2020 at Midnite UTC (I have the clock set to UTC)
and the clock was only 10 seconds fast.  I'm lucky my clock is pretty
accurate.  That 10 second error was from when I first set it several
years ago, shortly after I got my K3S.  The K3 I had before that was
never very accurate and would lose 10 seconds a week.  This one
surprised me.

Jim, W0EB

Is there any way to open the com port to the radio at a specific baud
rate, rather than the utility's baud rate trolling method? Trolling for
port speed fails when using an intervening virtual port device.

... and if you don’t have “a good time/date application,” synch your computer manually to WWV and then run the K3 utility.

K3 Utility should not be used through an intervening virtual port.
Instead close the virtual port and connect using the real COM port.
