I must be incredibly nerdy, because I spent 10 minutes the other day
getting my new G5's clock to click over at the exact moment the minute
tone on the WWV station began.

I've noticed, however, that after a few hours the minute clicks over
before the tone, and in fact after a day, up to 4 or 5 seconds. Has
anyone else noticed the G5's clock not being very accurate?

Greg - It's a 'portable' AM-FM Shortwave Radio
-not- a WWVB Radio Controlled Clock. ~ RHF
*.

But it should be; I feel that _any_ clock in a SW rcvr that is also
used for controlling the rig should be radio controlled. The chipsets
are so cheap now that cost is really not an excuse. Since the clock
is embedded in a rcvr, the mcu could select the source WWVB, WWV, CHU,
etc. as propagation dictates.

MSG,

My Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radios default to WWV
on 10.000 MHz when they lose Power. -but- They Do Not
have an Automatic 'Atomic' Clock Setting or Reseting Function.
Nice if that were so... But It Ain't.

That being said, I would agree with you that at a certain "Price
Point"; all Shortwave Radios should; as you suggest have an
Automated 'Atomic' Clock Setting and Re-setting Feature.

some day may be -but- not today ~ RHF
