I've got one of the cheap radio-controlled clocks? I was listing to
radio 4 the other day and herd the time signal. The radio controlled
clock was about 3 seconds off. I was a bit surprised it was so far off.
I'm just wondering how accurate these things are.
David,
Be aware that if listening via digital radio (or worse, digital TV) there
is a delay in the transmission chain of up to several seconds (DTV). I
expect you know that already! Use the FM signal for best results.
Here, I have a couple of analogue display and a couple of digital display
"radio clocks". The digital are both about a quarter of a second slow,
and the two analogue display clocks are spot-on, as near a damn it.
I'm located in Edinburgh and using the Anthorn 60KHz souce:

BTW: the "pips" went missing recently:

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
David
