These units have been available for a long time - and are very good for minutes and seconds but a minor downside is that they show the hour being transmitted by the time source, including Daylight Saving when it is in operation. If the one you have bought has the same software as the ones I looked at over here in Europe about a year ago, you can over-ride the hour setting. However, it then ceases to synchronise with the transmitter and uses an internal timer, making it as accurate as any other quartz- controlled clock. By the way - don't you mean that your PC generated time from the Internet is 0.3 seconds slow compared with real time?
