Yes well, they are not the fastest data devices in the world. I have a relatively new one here and it can sometimes take several hours to get its
self sorted. I don't know hat the bit rate is to set these things but it has
to be slow.

Last night my radio controlled alarm clock was exactly two hours slow.
I previously lent it to a friend, then took it home in the my car. I
am guessing it lost its signal during the journey. Two things puzzle
me here:

1. I thought if a radio controlled clock lost signal it would keep
running until a new signal was found.
2. I thought the control process first took the clock to 12:00 then
set the hour hand then set the minute hand. How come the minutes were showing exactly correct but the hour was two hours out?

It has now recovered so I am assuming the battery and the mechanism in general are okay.
