Most recent successful sync was at 2023-10-06T03:05-0700, and it displayed the Level 0 receiving indicator that time (3 being the strongest). At one point, in August, I used the manual receiving feature outdoors, during the day, and it worked fine. (I even had a shortwave radio tuned to WWV’s 15 MHz signal, and I received a good signal from it.)

I have kept it in my bedroom window the entire time per the manual, and it previously worked properly. Did atmospheric conditions change?

As I was setting the clocks, I noticed that the save battery in my copy of Pokémon Gold Version was empty. I soldered a new CR2025 battery into it. I had installed the old one in October 2011 using the tape method. (I even had an NES and Super NES in the old save file. :-() That battery lasted a few years longer than I expected, as did the original battery.
