Great little clock
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

This little clock is a great addition to my shack.
I will say the instructions are a bit vague but if you go slowly step by step it does set up well.
The Larger readout of the two time zones is best left as local time while the smaller time desplay is gereat for UTC/GMT. The larger readout has the seconds displayed as well as hour and minutes. Great if you are hunting stations that ID on the hour.
The best part is that every day around 2 A.M. local time the clock resets itself to the exact time. With the dual display in exact sync you always have the exact time.
The clock uses 2 AAA batteries and folds shut if you want to take it with you. The cover folds back to act as a very stable stand for the radio room.There is an alarm that you can set.
I feel its worth the cost.

Good for use in space limited shack and portable ops.
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

After returning two MJF battery operated wall clocks that never kept the correct time, I decided to trade for a small atomic clock to set on my rig. I have found this little clock to be convenient since I only have to glance up to see the time to log it during regular QSO's and contests. It's also small enough to slip in your pocket, bag or purse and take along with you and includes an alarm. It can be back-lit by depressing the snooze button; you can set two time zones on it - I use mine to set local time and UTC time both in 24 hour format. The local time numerals (time 1) are large but the second set of numerals in the upper right hand corner (time 2) could be larger. The numerals counting the seconds under time 2 are larger and I feel it would be better if it were the opposite. I owned the clock for almost a year before having to replace the two AA batteries.
On the downside, the instructions are not clear....it took me several days to figure out how to get the alarm to quit going off and an hour to figure out how to set the time again once I replaced the batteries. It sometimes does not want to sync with WWV here in south Louisiana.
All in all, a decent little clock for portable operations, traveling or for space challenged shacks.
