Last night my radio controlled alarm clock was exactly two hours slow.
I previously lent it to a friend, then took it home in the my car. I
am guessing it lost its signal during the journey. Two things puzzle
me here:
1. I thought if a radio controlled clock lost signal it would keep
running until a new signal was found.
2. I thought the control process first took the clock to 12:00 then
set the hour hand then set the minute hand. How come the minutes were showing exactly correct but the hour was two hours out?
It has now recovered so I am assuming the battery and the mechanism in general are okay.
