When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

precise timekeeping through integrated radio receiver
Wäre mein Vorschlag. Man kann natürlich noch mehr Details mit reinnehmen, wie precise to the second oder so. Aber die Funktsteuerung, um die es eigentlich geht, funktioniert ja durch eingebaute Funkempfänger, daher radio receivers.

Dhananjay Rau
: "Funksteuerung" (radio control) is the umbrella term, "Funkempfänger" (radio receiver) and "Sender" (radio transmitter) are parts of the system. Hence this time I would tend to not agree with you Berit. I would opt for "radio control(lled)"

Thanks, Dhananjay. My suggestion is receiver, because I would put the umbrella term "radio controlled" into the name of the clock and then be more precise when it comes to explaining how the accurate time keeping is achieved. Up to personal preference.
