My hourly chimes comes about 20-30 seconds before it changes from xx:59h to xx:00h, rather than sounding exactly on the hour. Similar set up anyone?
Perhaps it is there to remind you to switch on the radio for the news bulletin (before it has started). Small point but any ideas?

20-30 seconds is the time you could change channel

yeah. first time i heard it i looked all around the car myself. i realized the hour had just changed.
i guess i will hit the OP with a preemptive answer, because it is coming... LCI= Life Cycle Impulse. last time i threw that in a welcome thread, the OP was like "i was gonna ask that". unfortunately you cant search for a 3-letter string. so there it is OP!
