[SEDXC] Setting those MFJ dual clocks

I have a new MFJ dual clock that only requires one control to set hour and
minutes. I have two of the older clocks that require holding down the
center and setting the time. I don't care about the local clock just so its
close but trying to use the GMT portion is frustrating. I set them on WWV
and when I finally set them when the minute breaks they are just not
reliable. I want to get the correct minute for contests and DXpeditions.
After setting they can vary all over the place (up to a couple of minutes
plus or minus). The older two seem to get more off over time.
For contests n1mm stays on time but for regular operating I still hand log
and one DXpedition QSL handler chewed me out for being a full minute off.
I have two old Tymeter electric clocks and so long as the power stays on
they stay right on time. I want to be able to switch to the MFJ clocks and
be accurate. How do others set them so they stay right?
Tnx Dave K4JRB
