    Yes well, they are not the fastest data devices in the world. I have a relatively new one here and it can sometimes take several hours to get its
    self sorted. I don't know hat the bit rate is to set these things but it has
    to be slow.

    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.
