August 2025 marks one year that my Leitch CSD-5300 Clock System Driver has been in service on a publicly advertised telephone line - the only such unit in the world besides the units operated by the National Research Council of Canada. This video is an update on the calls I have received over the past year, info I received about tuning the oscillator for precise accuracy, and issues I have found in Leitch's time code clocks, and how to fix them.

Phone numbers:
989-CSD-TIME (273-8463) - Michigan, USA
506-408-0067 - New Brunswick, Canada
Overseas callers welcome - dial Country Code 1.
Long distance charges may apply.
