UTC clock
 

Does anybody know if any company makes a 24 UTC clock...say about the
size of a regular alarm clock ?? I'd like to find one that I could just sit
on the shelf to take a look at when I'm SWLing.
Thanks,
Ben

Try MFJ or go to the Universal Radio web site. Both have some choices that make
fit your needs

Take a look at some of the radio dealer websites www.grove-ent.com or
universal if in USA, if in Canada, look at radioworld and durham radio. I
have an MJF wrist watch which gets time signal from WWV, not UTC, but
exact. 24 clocks are certainly available. You might have to call: often
little accessories are not on websites, or get a catalogue.

A while back I picked up a small UTC desk clock made by Amano on ebay.
It makes a phone call every month to update it's time settings. Has a
bright LED display, and gives dd (date of month), and hh:mm:ss

Nice item - case is cast aluminum.

EBay is a great place to find one of these. Mine is a foot-wide analog
by MFJ that I got (barely) used for ten bucks. Runs forever on an AA
battery, and is very accurate. If you're willing to part with some coin
and do a little rigging, you can frequently find ones from old Navy
destroyers and the like - very cool.

My DX-392 has a dual 24-hour clock with alarm (and tape turn on) capability. I
have one set for UTC.

My eTR7 has a 24-hour clock with alarm. I have it on local time but I may reset
it to UTC.

Thanks for all the help guys :))) I really appreciate it. I think
I'll be able to find one now.

What's strange is, our local grocery store had a 24 hour clock on sale 2
years ago, for something like us$10.00.
It's digital, and has a 12/24 hour switch. I bought 2.
It also has a digital thrmometer, as well as a calendar and alarm.
I can't find a name on it, it just says "Jumbo wall clock".
The whole thing is about 7.25x11.25 inches,with the clock read out alne
being 2.25x5.25 inches, it is very readable from across the room.

I've seen old Heathkit radio controlled clocks-a geek friend of mine has
one in his computer room-but those don't show UTC. Atomic Time
(atomictime.com) makes a double display time clock, set one side to your
time and the other to UTC. I have one, but there's no way to stop one
side from switching to DST, so it's off by an hour half the year on UTC.
Still, it was the only radio controlled clock I could find that can show
UTC.

Mine developed a short in the power cord after a while-jiggle it the
wrong way and it goes back to 000.

Get a program for your PC that locks the Windows Clock to an Internet one
then get a clock package displayed on the screen.

Simple and cheaper!

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! The "old" Heathkit Most Accurate
Clock GC-1000 will show UTC. There is even a switch for that as
well as 12/24 and daylight savings in any of 23 time zones that
can reliably pick up WWV/H on 5/10/15 mHz. Mine has been running
since 2/1986. Soapbox off mode.

For the record, I do not know who made the post about the Heathkit
clock - but it wasn't me (as it appears in this post).
