It's been awhile since I looked at the schematic but I think there is a 38
KHz crystal in the radio for the RTC circuit. If there is no "padder"
capacitor to adjust, the only solution is to replace the xtal. You would
need to know the xtal "capacitance" as they are available in several types
dependent on the RTC chip's needs.

Same problem here . I await any answer you may get because I have never
pursued the matter but should have.

Has anyone else experienced a problem with the clock on the display losing
time? After setting the time to WWV, I lose a minute about every two weeks
and have to reset the clock. Rig is used as a base station and never used
mobile. IC7000 is less than a year old. This there a simple fix for this
problem.
