Paul,
I just went out to my shoppe and looked. Mine is locked and has been
for most of the day, with two green lights. Some time ago I added a
meter to the front panel that I connected to one of the test
points. It's currently fairly steady except for the normal dips in
carrier strength. About this time of day it usually starts to go
nuts because of the Diurnal shift. I'm in Glendale, CA, just north
of Downtown Los Angeles. My WWVB antenna is a ferrite rod type in a
PVC tube. It's been laying by the side of the house on the ground
for over 15 years. That's where I've always gotten the cleanest
signal - found that out when we re-roofed the house.
