Hi,

My book port looses a couple of minutes a month too but I don't need it to 
be exact and I just reset it when I notice its 5 minutes off.

And with as many reports as we've had about clock inaccuracy on the BP, I
wonder if it's worthwhile. While many users have reported that the clocks on
their units are quite accurate, it seems as though just as many have
reported losses of as much as two or three minutes a week--that's at least
one second per hour. If I were using the output in situations where seconds
were this important, a loss of one second per hour wouldn't make the
reliability level particularly useful to me.

Hi Peter, that is certainly something we will consider, but it seems
like it would be annoying to most users which means there would have to
be a setting to control weather or not you wanted to hear seconds in the
time announcements.

Hi,

Elapsed time on the Book Port indicates minutes and seconds - could the
internal clock also be tweaked
to say the number seconds in addition to hours and minutes? I
frequently need to know the exact time, and not just the
hour and minute (for listening to news broadcasts, etc.).

Peter
