Need recommendation for 24-hour clock
 

My Radio Shack digital clock has died after only 25 years of use, and
I'm having trouble finding a suitable replacement. Set to UTC, it was
a great clock shack clock for logging, etc.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive 24-hour digital clock that runs off
115V?

Thanks,
Art Harris N2AH

My Radio Shack clock is only about 20 years old, and still running.

I'd suggest searching google for '24 hour digital clock' - it turns
up some interesting possibilities, including some kits.

My solution is a $19 wall clock that uses one C-battery per year, and is
sync'd to WWVH in Colorado. It has BIG digits for old farts like me
(about 2" tall) plus it shows the temperature and day/date. I got mine
at Sam's club.

I have one of those too. When I wanted another one they didn't have any
more. You have to be careful in shopping for $20 WWVH clocks. Some of them
can only be set to one of the U.S. time zones. Others can be set to UTC.
The last one I bought came from Radio Shack, and was more like $40.

Hi,

These of course don't fit your spec. However perhaps you may wish to broaden
your options. G

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.
