Works fine
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
I have had the clock a number of years now. I only replaced the batteries once so far. One clock stopped working a few days ago. I cleaned the battery with a Deoxit Pen contact cleaner. The clock is working fine again. Both clocks run a little slow. Once every few months I push the bottom button to move the clock forward a few seconds and it fine again. Its important to keep the battery contacts clean, Deoxit works great for this.

Battery killer
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|

I won this clock at a ham swap meet. Nice, but I have to replace the batteries about every two months. Clearly, the button style batteries are too small to supply what this clock requires. The batteries are too expensive to keep replacing them. I'm going to build an external power supply that uses a cheap AA or AAA cell instead. There's plenty of room on the back panel. I'm going to drill a small hole for each clock on the panel to feed the wires through and connect them to the battery. Looking from the front, the modification will be hidden and still look good.

Still going and going!

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

My little double clock is still going after a couple of weeks now. Believe it or not both have the exact second to WWV synch. I guess MFJ must use different clocks now and made them better or something. All the other reviews looked bad here. Hopefully it will keep running good as it has been. 73 Jim. W5JJG

Good for me!!

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I'm gonna have to give it a 5 because mine works great.Both seperate clocks keep the exact time with each other. Small little unit but easy to see, looks good ontop of my radio also. MFJ makes some pretty good stuff now and then. Ok for me, no problems with this little unit so far. 73 Jim W5JJG

Typical MFJ
|
Time owned: months
|
|
Although not very accurate, they have worked for about two years. Having worked more or less well for two years, I would have given a bit higher rating except for the fact that the batteries just went dead and it cost $10.98 for two batteries at Radio Shack. I realize I can get the batteries cheaper from on-line suppliers but I needed the thing to work now. I will not again pay for batteries for this thing. When these go dead, I will pitch them and get something that works off a cheaper AA or AAA battery. Like so many others, I keep saying I won't buy their products again and always do. MFJ strikes again!

Decent - assuming it works
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I have had this for a couple of years. Worked perfectly, and not hard to sync to WWV. I am not trying to launch a moon shot; + or - a minute or two for my station logging is ok for my amateur needs.
This unit seems to have touched a nerve. MFJ seems to have a consistency problem ... I just may have been lucky.

Avoid this one.

Time owned: 3 to 6 months

As others have said, this clock (actually 2 clocks) keep time poorly. Also, they will start showing different times within a month. I soon got rid of them. For an excellent clock consider the MFJ-133RC. It is a great clock!

A waste of money. Tossed them in the trash and bought a set at Wally World for less money.

junk
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I've had mine for about 20 years. Played around trying to synch them for awhile and then threw the thing in the junk box. Just ran across it the other day and I wonder why I still have it. Just a pack rat I guess

Two Pieces Of Junk
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
What you have here is 2 of the most inaccurate pieces of junk mounted in a nice aluminum holder. I have reset these clocks 2 or 3 times a month since I purchased them. Came with dead batteries from the start. One clock runs too fast and the other has no clue as to what the other is showing. Save your money fellow hams. MFJ has gone down the tubes, Big Time. I would rate the clocks a zero and the holder a five.
