Ronzo915 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We thought we noticed this strange side effect last year but ignored it. Now we see the exact same thing happening. We have noticed that when the show runs, the time on the clock radio in our bedroom gets faster. After about 3 nights the clock is about 15 mins fast. We reset the clock and sure enough within one day the clock was fast. We noticed the days the show didn't run, the clock stayed the same. Anyone ever see anything this strange? Thanks Ron.

Max-Paul Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 No, but appears you clock does not have a good filter on the A.C. line coming into it. Might try a ferrite on the power cord of the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 William Bottomley had a situation a few years ago where he plugged something in backwards and his show ran in reverse. But I've not before heard of a clock speeding up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmacw Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 When I start my shows every year, all my clocks run faster too! Seems like as soon as I'm up and running, Jan 1st comes and it time to take it down and plan for the next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 If you have a hertz meter readily available, check your power coming into your home. It could be that you've had a problem coming from your transformer. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Benson Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Most common clocks use the 60HZ cycle of the AC input to keep proper time. It is possible that your show is causing noise onthe power line and introducing un-intended frequencies to get to your clock. so every time it gets another Peak or valleyin the input wave it may be adding seconds to the clock. This is why Max-Paul is suggesting a filter bead on the power cord.Or buy a better clock ! If you have a problem in your house power feed, like a loose neutral or Phase, running hi-amperage lights may causeexcessive flashing of your inside lights. When I was running all C9 lights (pre LED switch) The lights in the house would flicker some and the Breaker Panel would singwith the music ! I could tell what song was playing by how the panel sounded. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
