well done Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have always admired the Geochron mechanical clocks, but way too expensive. However, the new digital version was priced within my budget. This little computer into a 4K UHD 40 inch TV provides a wonderful Ham Map with updating grey line, as well as 4 other types of maps. Additional overlay displays include Night Light patterns,population patterns, CO2 pollution, ship and air paterns, Satellite positions (including ISS and Hubble), with more promised to be coming soon. It even has a demo mode to show how the seasons change. The clock locks to the internet for accuracy. I can't wait to see what they add next. All in All, I must admit... I Like This Thing

Sat Tracking Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Great product, looks terrific in my shack. Latest update from Geochron says they are adding more Sat tracking to the options vs just the ISS.

Absolutely Stunning Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bravo Geochron - I have the 4K with an inexpensive but very nice TCL Roku 4K TV, and it is an amazing item for the ham shack.

Highly recommended.

Very Good looking Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
OK, it is much cheaper than the mechanical ones. Easier to setup too. However, not cheap. $400 plus a $280 TCL 42inch monitor. You want to display this on a good monitor, otherwise, download a free screen saver from the internet.
Appears to be a ATOM processor running ANDROID OS software in a little box. The detail on the HAM version is stunning. Much more information than on any Gray Line map on the free versions.

Classy Addition to Any Shack! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
A wonderful design coupled with fantastic looks, Geochron Digital is my idea of the perfect shack addition. Geochron is a long remembered family that has just jumped into the 21st century with a great product! You need one!

New Digital Design Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I was one of the first purchasers of the new digital 4K Ultra Geochron. I also own a classic Kilburg version.

I strongly suggest using the digital Geochron with the latest TCL brand 4K UHD TV. The latest TCL monitors are the best I've seen, and I own several 4K Ultra TVs.

The Geochron digital has been running in my law office 24/7 since mid-February. Setup is easy, actually easier than setting up the Kilburg version. Screen resolution is excellent but just slightly less detailed than the extreme detail offered in the Kilburg version's translucent maps.

A solid buy at $399.
