I've been waiting with baited breath for a GPS watch. NOT a NAVAID on the wrist but a simple GPS-synced watch. It would seem to me that making a miniature GPS receiver would be much easier than making a WWVB receiver.
Unfortunately that watch ain't it. Gad, they need a good industrial designer! Maybe they'll put the same electronics in a table/travel clock. If it had a 1PPS connector on the back, so much the better :-) John On Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:09:46 +0100, "Robert Atkinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >One problem with "atomic" timecode receiving clocks is the availability >of a usable signal.
