I'm looking to buy one online, since there don't seem to be any purveyors in
my area. I'd like to hear some recommendations for brands. I've found
several styles, but I'm hoping to find one that's easiest to read quickly.
(Some look like they'll take a couple of seconds of deciphering.) I'm
thinking of going digital for that reason, but I have to admit I kind of
like the way the analog clocks look in the shack photos that I've been
seeing lately. Does anyone out there prefer a particular brand or face-style
over any other? Or is this just a case of "I'll get used to it over time"?
That's what I suspect, but what with all of the years of experience in here,
I'd be a fool not to avail myself of some of it.

Here's an online place that carries all the LaCrosse atomic clocks:

I bought the WS8007 with the oak trim. 12/24 hour. Can be set in UTC.
Comes in cherry wood trim too.

Warning: If you want to operate in 24 hour mode, don't buy the
LaCrosse 6000 series. They don't display the entire first number (2)
when in 24 hour mode.

That said, the 8000 series clocks work well. I have one in my basement
that receives fine (in Michigan).
