Piece of crap technology!
So in my lab we have these clocks which are supposed to be synched up by radio frequency to give precise timing...To somewhere like NIST or something. Its important for our work that we keep time accurately. But these clocks don't even synch up with each other..Usually one is faster than another.If that wasn't bad enough, they did not get the signal to fall back over the weekend so they are off by an hour. Which means we have to be very careful about the times we record today. AAAAAAH! Why can't stuff work like its supposed to? And its not that the lab is too enclosed to get a radio signal...We have windows to the outside and can get some radio stations on the radio...:banghead:

1. Set them to sync at night?
My watch syncs every night after midnight without fail.
