Ed, As I recall, the Heath receiver scanned three WWV frequencies (5, 10, and 15MHz?) and stopped on the one with the strongest signal. It would stay there for a minute or two and move on if it couldn't hear the burst tone at the top of the minute. If it heard the tone, it would stay put and try to decode the sub-audible tone time signals. I think it only resumed scanning if it started missing the burst tones again. Over the course of the day it would walk up and down the band as the propagation changed. -- eric
