Gorman Redlich Encoder/decoder problem
Maybe someone else has has this problem. The clock gains up to a minute a day and the system will ignore national weather service warnings if we're off too many minutes. Any ideas how to keep the clock on the right time?
Thanks

The Gormon-Redlich EAS units are made in a house in Athens, Ohio, right in the middle of Ohio University's off-campus student housing. In an attempt to blend in, the Gormon-Redlich folks taught the EAS encoder/decoder units to puff on a little Mary Jane while waiting for those emergency digital activation signals.
So they forget a few minutes here and there. Hey, nobody's perfect and anyway ... uh ... what were we talking about?
Damn, this EAS unit sure could use a bag of potato chips. And a pizza.
The company also offers a line of FM receivers that drink themselves into unconsciousness then vomit and shit everywhere. You should feel lucky you didn't buy a few of those ...

Translators are a Pox on the FM radio dial.

The first unit I bought was a Holly Ann - that was a piece of shit. It was an
F- The G/R is a C-. If the damn clock would work right, it would be ok.

I've talked to him lots of times. Many times I have dropped off an EAS unit to him or a phase monitor and he has fixed the problem and even had a couple times he has dropped the repaired unit off at the station where it goes or we meet somewhere and I pick it up. Unlike TFT who wants almost $300 up front before they will even touch there EAS unit to fix it and take forever doing it, Jim does a quick turn around and I bet the bill is no where near as high. I like his EAS unit none of that junky built in printer that you are at the mercy of the manufacture and buying special paper.

I have met Jim a few times. Many moons ago he was at the SBE meeting (1994?) in Ripley? WV, just outside of Charleston. Jim is a smart guy. He does have a pet peeve about talking engineering with program directors or DJ’s that are trying to fix something. That’s my memory of Jim.
