  19. Re:You're SO wrong. on Power Grid Change May Disrupt Clocks · · Score: 1

    yes a parts per million crystal is much less accurate than something that fluxuates more than 20% on any given day, totally at random, depending on which generator is feeding you

    shure it may average out over time, as they constantly have to fuck with it on a daily basis, but that doesn't help you when your leaving on time but your clock has been running slow for a week

    cause a crap quartz based one cost less than the diodes and divider, is more effecient and much more accurate

    I made a ttl clock using AC as the time base, it would constantly drift tween 58 and 62HZ multiple times a day, cause in the end there is no "standard". It totally depends on your local source and how well they are watching that 60 year old gauge. Screw it get a crystal and get into parts per million accuracy for 15 cents
