I remember that.

I bought two Sony AM-FM Clock Radios whose clock(s) time is set by the WWV Time
Signal.
Years ago when I was employed I set the time on one set 5 minutes fast.
After retiring I have tried setting it back to the correct time but it stays 3
minutes fast and does that every time I have reset it .

I called Sony about that problem but the person I spoke with had no idea how to
help me. (Probably they don't manufacture a device similar to what I own
anymore).

Last year the fast units back up battery needed replacing.
The instructions sheet said to leave the AC power cord plugged in while
changing the battery. So I did that

I am thinking of unplugging the power cord AND taking the backup battery out
then putting the battery back in and plugging the power cord back in and then
doing the set up procedure so I could  see if the correct time would be on the
thing
I have been using time.gov on this cellphone to check if the clock time is
accurate.  That is easier than listening to WWV broadcasting on 10 Megacycles
on the Shortwave Band.

Now to find the ROUNDTUIT to do that.
