No, it really is a DCF-77 signal.

I don't want to control what source is used, just how fast it is switched when 
the signal is lost.
minpoll and maxpoll seem to control that, and i guess i just need smaller 
maxpoll than the one that is allowed.

I have set minpoll to 4 and maxpoll to 5. After the signal is lost it takes 3 
to 4 minutes to switch to another source.
Why does it take so long when maxpoll is 5 (32 seconds)? How many times must a 
poll fail until the source is expected to be unrecoverrable for now?

Best Regards
Sebastian
