My Drake SW2 does that, too.

Quartz clocks suck. They wander all over the place.

My Kaito 1103 (the same circuitry as the G5) also has an unreliable clock,
and others have complained about the Degen 1103 as well--the manufacturer
might have spent a few more cents on the clock chip.

I have a G5, and I like it very much, but yes I have been having
problems qwith the clock as, it seems to gain time on my radio as
well. But I really like the SSB and fine tuning, which works similar
to a BFO. Have you had any problems with images? As the radio is
only dual conversion.

As with yours, the clock in my Degen gains a minute in slightly over
a week. That's abysmal performance for a quartz timed clock although
it would be spot on for a Rolex chronometer.

You can't expect a quartz controlled computer clock to maintain atomic
time accuracy.

Every time you startup or restart you can have the computer query an
Internet time server. If you keep the computer on all the time open the
date and time control panel and un-check then check the "set date and
time automatically" to get the computer to update from the server.
