Not by the time you get a Garmin freighted here, pay import duties, install an external antenna and power.

I don't seem to recall saying the world owes me an LF receiver. I was observing that 99% of the people who post here say how accurate and cheap they are, when for a reasonable percentage of the earth's surface there is no coverage. > Perhaps the Japanese can help you out.

As observed in another post JJY 60 kHz can be received some of the time, but why would anyone want a solution that only works occasionally. -- Avoid reality at all costs. $email =~ s/n(.)a(.)n(.)a(.)e(.+)invalid/$1$2$3$4$5au/; icbm: 33.43.46S 150.59.27E _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
