detect. I have no idea how something like this can be sold for such a
low price ($30, I think it was at Wal-Mart) and that includes an
outdoor
sensor for that price. Needless to say, I have a spare sensor if
I only have 1 atomic/WWV clock here and I bought it a
couple years ago at CVS when they opened some stores
and had special coupons for any purchase.
I got it for practically nothing after the coupons, <$5 I am sure.
It is not especially fancy, but has time/date and indoor temperature.
In amateur radio, I think, the market is fairly small and
sometimes prices reflect it. In retail, special promotions,
loss leaders etc can provide some bargains for related
items that are general consumer products.
I don't think it always has to be slave labor, etc to get a
good bargain from time to time.
