Aha! You said it. I looked up the WWV Time Codes at http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvtimecode.htm and it shows DST indicator #2 and DST indicator #1 as part of the code stream. When I used to build my own LED readout station clock that used WWVB time codes, those bits were not there. Hi Hi

My 4 or so clocks have grudgingly changed over...It is also up to the band conditions whether or not you get a good enough signal... Gary On Sun, 11 Mar 2007 21:57:03 -0700 John Gleichweit [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I didn't get a signal at all, and none of the 3 WWVB clocks changed.

Initially, I was thinking that the clock had the software to determine the change in daylight time and I think my La Crosse Technologies Clocks and my other atomic clock has a setting for this. But here in the U.S., didn't they change the DST data change? So, if the clocks changed accordingly,

For what's it's worth - I have 3 of these clocks, 2 cheap and one real good one. All 3 reset and different times. The good one will open the receiver at 2am local time and then 3 and 4 if the 2am signal is misses. Same for my Casio watch - 2, 3 and 4. Last night the watch up dated at 4:04 but

I have no idea how something like this can be sold for such a low price ($30, I think it was at Wal-Mart) Because they use Chinese prison labor to build them, probably. That's just ONE reason I don't shop at Walmart. But I certainly agree on the other aspects of your post -- These gadgets are

Peter, A bit over the top for most reasonable folks. The majority of Americans shop at Wal-Mart except maybe a few on the fringe or extreme upper income. We shop at War-Mart because of the convenience of having everything in one place, even in a rural area where I live. Without them, I would

I completely agree with this, when I first got my ticket, I would call CQ on the local repeaters, and of course I identified myself every 30 seconds just to be sure. Someone told me, you don't need to call CQ and people snicker when Noobs do it. I was embarrassed but was happy to know how

Hi Guys (and Gals) With regard to Bad PSK signals, will this be affected if the TX station is close by? A normal SSB station close by will generate a wide signal if close by. Why I ask. Yesterday, while tuning around I found 2 strong signals in the waterfall, and one could see the main signal,

hi Kevin; FYI on the 480SAT, if you just get the ALC showing one bar on tx, your signal is darn good. much more and it starts to overdrive I notice that when I change modes and power levels with the 480, I have to adjust the audio sometimes. I run 40w PSK and 95 Watts on Olivia etc
