I have a question, why does my ACJr tank time always loose time as days progress? For example, I set the ACJr's clock the other day(Friday) and today, Sunday, the clock is a few minutes slower than my HD cable box which I used as a reference.

Thanks, Chris

There is a setting called "Leap Seconds" which should help. You set "Leap Seconds" to a number of seconds which will be added to the AC clock daily. You can tune this value which should help to keep your clock quite close. The 'best' method I found is to have AquaNotes running; it will update the clock when it is off.

Thanks I will look into it. Why would you have to do this though? How many seconds did you have to add to yours?

My AC3s are connected to AquaNotes which maintains the clock for me so I didn't set my Leap Seconds.
