Default radio time code clock error

Works like a charm!


How do you know if there is a digital relay link somewhere in the
transmission train?
I used to rely on the teletext time that came with the VITS of analogue
TV, but all gone belly-up with digital MUX. In the UK we have the
ridiculous business of the genuine radio pips relayed onto the "radio"
sections of MUX TV, can be up to 10 seconds out via the codec delays.
