Re: [HCDX]: Radio-clock inside radios?

[Alf Aardal <alfardal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Karel.

I was a little suprised when you said,your 7030 clock was more or less
inaccurate!

Since I purchased my 7030 I find the clock inside to be very accurate...,I can
run the receiver several months without the need to adjust it,and then only for
one - 1 - second.The receiver has been disconnected causing thunderstorms,some
days upto 12-16 hours,and then connected again...I was really surprised that it
can hold such a accuracy.

I haven't had a wrist watch or any other clock with such a accuracy as the AOR
7030!!
I can't say if my AOR 7030 is a good "clock version" or not...

Perhaps others can comment a little on the accuracy on the AOR 7030,but I find
it hard to obtain anymore accuracy of a receiver clock....and if so,you will
then not be into dxing,.....with such time accuracy as you mention.
