Default R3 'pips'

Does anyone know if there is a time when R3 broadcasts regular 'time pips',
and if so, when this is? I can't recall hearing these on R3 for some time
now, and when I've checked in recent days they weren't broadcast at
noon/1/2pm...

I'm trying to accurately measure the time offset between FM/DAB. I've
managed this for R4, but the time offset for R3 is clearly different. :-/

Slainte,

A long time now since I last heard the pips on R3. Unless they are
doing it at some outlandish hour, I'm pretty sure they don't bother
any more.

As for R4, are you finding that the offset is consistent, or does it
change during the day as they change bit rate?
