Yesterday I spotted an atomic clock at the Rite-Aid Drugstore chain. It's
$9.95, and although it doesn't specifically say "atomic" or "atomic clock" on the package, it's certainly one. It's described as an "automatic setting" clock, never needing manual setting, and has a switch for various USA timezones on the back. I believe the manufacturer was listed as "Elite Group", if I recall. Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA USA wrote in message oups.com... At "Walgreens" I found an "Atomic Alarm Clock" Runs on 2 "AA" batteries and it even has a nice EL backlight. Best part was it cost only $9.99! I bought 2, and if they both work I will take one apart to intercept the data stream. It is a Model #701071, Item #C17D1773 The documentation has a 2003 Copyright date. The documentation says it may take 48~72 hours to synchronize. It only supports PST/MST/CST/EST, with automatic DST changeover. I will post updates as needed. The documentation is clearly designed for non technical types, but the do warn about PC mointors operating near 60KHz and even mention WWV. It would be nice to set it to GMT/ZULU, but for 10 bucks I can't complain. Terry |
