Don't some of them also use a german transmitter though?
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?


I dont. I do however much prefer that the system completely automatically keeps track of the time rather than fart
around doing anything manually.


So are you one of those "dinosaurs who dont care about accuracy"


I'm not one of the dinosuars who use the PIPs on the radio, stupid.
