Tom I may have missed your comment do you have one of these? It appears there is very little data on them. Must not have been popular. So from the posts I can give you a good guess. It would be a TRF receiver without a crystal filter. This can be as reasonable as 4 transistor stages to get that 100 DB gain. Further guessing. The PLL is based on 20 Khz phase comp of a 100KHz ref/5. Could have been a cd4046 they were around back then. I would truly be amazed if it actually used a set of mc1496 mixers and quadrature decoding. The new wwvb modulation will not allow the phase lock to lock. But the time data may still be available if they were using simple AM demodulation with a diode. Thats my purest of speculation. Regards Paul WB8TSL
