Boelle addict Registered: 22/11/2007 Posts: 475 Loc: Denmark, Odense	an option to disable that the empeg sets the clock according to time signal from RDS... sometimes the stations is way off with there time signals... just ask Ben :-D an on/off option should do.. and if on an option to confirm that setting the clock is ok... _________________________ the "monkey" who learned to check a harddrive

Boelle addict Registered: 22/11/2007 Posts: 475 Loc: Denmark, Odense	well i had it from ben that said that his clock is always way off... so i guess that the clock is beeing set auto.. so we just need to turn that darn feature off....hmm... but how? but i gave him this to set the clock via NTP: [hijack] ;@MENUEXEC Set_Date_Time /rdate -s 10.0.0.2 &>/dev/null _________________________ the "monkey" who learned to check a harddrive

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14496 Loc: Canada	The only thing that causes the clock to be set automatically, is connecting the empeg to a PC and running emplode or jEmplode. -ml

If your clock is always wrong you may have another separate problem. That statement is correct. There is an RDS clock display on the empeg, but it only shows on one screen, only when you're in tuner mode, and it does not update the empeg's internal clock. It's common, for example, to have the empeg's clock and the RDS clock displaying two completely different times, either because the empeg's clock is wrong, or the radio station's RDS time is wrong. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Then that's what I've been seeing. So many stations in the US used to have RDS up (in prep for HDradio) but the damn clocks would be wrong. so here the time would pop up while tuned in.. and be incorrect. I'll check to see if my unit keeps time otherwise.. I thought for sure I was seeing updates or something that may have been updates.. It's been too long. -Ben _________________________ Empeg Mk2 in fabulous green! Green Face, Green BackLit Buttons... GREEN...
