I understand the D Stock PIS has a in-built clock. I was just wondering, does anyone know how this clock is set?
Does it receive some kind of update automatically by satellite? Or is it changed manually by technicians ?
If it is updated automatically, is there any kind of manual way to change the time, on the system?
Thanks

It must have an internal clock, otherwise it wouldn't know when to do the off peak announcements that go on and on and on and on.......
Anyway, I've always assumed it gets it's info in tandem with the GPS.
