"Atomic" clock for UTC/GMT?

Father Mike, Glenn, and Robert,
Thanks for the solid information and sources!
BTW, I actually do have a GPS clock for my computer. It works great,
but I wanted something which I could keep in the shack which didn't
require the computer to be up. My ancient Heathkit digital clock died
after 20+ years, and I thought I would replace it, and opt for
something I didn't have to hack with WWV every time the power failed.

Well, I have seen gps units interfaced to a mcpu and lcd display that shows gps
info, which can also be time in any format you want.. 2 displays whether lcd or
led can be set up from the same mcpu "Basic Stamp". It is very do-able and
should be low cost "under $100" for sure... i can easily do it with what I have
in the shack... I also sold one of those cell-site reference gps-time units for
a bunch of $$$ that I only picked up for $55 bucks a few years ago...It would of
been the best thing for a shack time reference unit..
