Re the Compact Rx,I notice from "jarekh3's drawing there is a RTC module on the rear of the unit. As i was looking at ordering one and installing it in a very compact enclosure (befitting its size) and this would prevent it from fitting, is it absolutely necessary or could I just rely on the ntp server for date and time?
I note that the BME280 is also there and i wonder the accuracy of the temp/RH readings inside an enclosure.

Hi Jim,
The hardware RTC its important (unless the software is modified is must be installed). It covers the possibly that you may have the restart the unit in a moment that there is no Internet connection (for any possible reason).
