Except mine does not do TDF. However it should be possible to construct a circuit that drives the serial port in the same fashion as the MSF/DCF77 etc. receivers and the program would just detect it as DCF77 and decode the time. Whether it could be powered by the serial port is a different question however. That said anyone who can pick up TDF can also pick up MSF, DCF77 and HBG, as well as GPS. At which point the use of a fifth time signal does seem to be a bit superfluous. JAB. -- Jonathan A. Buzzard Email: jonathan (at) buzzard.me.uk Northumberland, United Kingdom.
