I'm happy with the little MFJ clock I have. Has two little LCD clocks,
run off internal watch-type batteries. I get a couple of years' use out
of the batteries, and I can take it afield when I have a mind to. One
clock is for local time, the other is for UTC. They also have a single
UTC-only version. No WWV sync though but I think that's not that
critical an issue.



Thanks to all who responded. Luckily, I got an exact replacement for
my Radio Shack clock from a friend who had a brand new one squirreled
away!

Still, after searching high and low, I'm amazed that there's nothing
similar available (115 VAC, etc.). The MFJ clocks looked ok. But kind
of pricey, and battery powered clocks tend to drift more than one
running off 60 Hz AC.

I ran across some listings on eBay in the past couple of days for a
Kenwood HC-10 station clock. Might be worth looking into for future
reference, or to get hold of one as a spare should the one you just
acquired go south on you.
