I can also tell you something odd about a dab clock radio. Every
so often it jumps back an hour for no apparent reason.

and the PIPs are not synchronised with those on FM.


Yes, the time taken to process the original analogue input and convert
to digital means that digital radio and TV transmissions run a little
behind the real world.


And only dinosaurs who dont care about accuracy use the radio to set
their clocks anwyay.


So, for what do you need this incredible accuracy?
