Hi guys,

I just wondered if others experienced their receivers not keeping time on the front display, so for example after 24 hours in standby the receiver be approx 1-2 mins behind.
The 3 different receivers I own all behave this way, so is there an explanation?

Regards

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I've not found any to keep accurate time, even if tied into any auto source.

They are corrected when synchronised either via the Internet or On Air, depending upon the particular receiver and what option you've chosen (If there is a choice!). No Swiss-made gubbins, just cheap electronic carp.
