I've got one of the cheap radio-controlled clocks? I was listing to

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.
I was using 198.00 kHz longwave here in the UK. Unless there's some digital
processing going on before the signal is AM modulated, this can't explain the
problem.
