I really like the Expedition. However, one problem with it is that
if you set the dual time (digital) to Zulu time, the date changes in
conjunction with Zulu time. That's a PIA...


It's supposed to!
You're using Zulu time!



Right! The date applies to the time zone in use.

Hmmm, I don't understand. I have an Expedition and set the 2nd timezone
to zulu time. Primary time is set to PST/PDT as appropriate and the
date changes according to this. Maybe it's an Iowa thing? :-)
