Dick asked, What I am looking for is a way to display Local Time (MST) and Zulu (GMT) time in a small (6 X 8 or similar) package. There must be two displays and both lock up to NBS. Has anyone seen such a thing ? Might not meet all your specs, but MFJ may have something:

Fellow time-nuts, In a discussion it again re-occurred that we needed examples of how leap-seconds is indeed is inserted into the local timezones at the UTC midnight. I think I recall that the Tokyo stock exchange was closed during the leap-second for instance. Stuff like that. Cheers,

Paul, If you use a different 8051, particularly one that comes from another vendor, things like the UART, ADC, timers, watchdog, the clock and port IOs are likely to be configured and addressed differently because most vendors have their own peripherals different from the original Intel (or
