Wonderful shack clock Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have owned one of these for a couple years and like it a lot. I first saw one in a friend’s shack and I immediately ordered one. It works very well and is easy to see at a glance. Just to protect it from RF I put a small snap-on choke on the power cord close to the plug on the back of the clock. I’ve never had a problem with it, even running high power.

Worth it. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I’ve had mine about 3 years, and it’s been flawless.

Looks great, simple clean design, I love it.

Don’t buy the cheap stuff, get something which compliments your shack.

Still spot on accurate after Seven years Time Owned: more than 12 months.
The CK2 has been a mainstay in my ham shack for seven years, and this is a follow up to an August 2010 e Ham review.

The CK-2 has performed flawlessly - until today when I got it too close to an RF field and it
suddenly died. I called Electronics USA and spoke with Jack. I was about to order a new one when he said that probably the old one just needed a re boot. I did as he said and five minutes later it's good as new.

Excellent product, superb customer service and built to last. At Jack's suggestion I added a small snap on ferrite choke to the power cord and made a note to myself not to key up a 20w FM radio just inches from the station clock.

I highly recommend this dual time zone desk clock for any ham station.

I've owned a CK-1 for several years. I love it, but wanted the UTC time displayed along with the local time. The CK-2 fills the bill perfectly. It is a real conversation starter with visitors -hams and non hams alike.

It is extremely accurate - within seconds a day, and re adjusts itself through the power grid. It is a snap to set and adjust. Easier than my
LED bedside alarm clock by far!

I had to wait over a month due to back orders. It was well worth the wait. I would recommend
either the CK 1 or the CK 2 for yourself or a gift to a special ham friend.

Great Clock Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
In a word, Great. Great customer service and great product. Having recently upgraded to general and getting in the swing of logging contacts it became immediately apparent that a UTC clock would make life so much easier. I started researching and decided that a clock which displayed local and UTC time would fit the bill. Not having the 20/20 vision of my teenage years and preferring to have the shack dimly lite like a CIC I knew that a LED display would be the best choice and being LED it wouldn't have to sit directly in front of me. Having read the reviews of the ElectronicsUSA CK-2 dual display clock I figured I'd give it a try and I'm very happy I did. Nice easy to read from any angle and the display can be dimmed for low light environments like mine. Easy to set and battery backup. Count me a satisfied customer.

Excellent Clock & Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I love the CK-2 clock! I own both a CK-1 (Home Theater Room) and a CK-2 (Ham Shack). Jack has provided excellent customer service over the years for both of my clocks. When the power supply failed on my clock, Jack provided a free replacement unit. Very good customer experience!
I wish more companies operated the way Electronics USA does! Will buy again!

Outstanding timepiece Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I love this clock. Simple clean design and is extremely accurate. I check it against WWV and it's always spot on. Not cheap at $215 but the accuracy is worth the price.

Jack called me to make sure my address was correct. It was a bit blurred on my fax order. What a nice guy. I received the clock a few days later and couldn't be happier. I have the dual clock and I had it up and running in a few minutes. It's extremely accurate. At least once a week I check it against WWV And its never off +/- a second or two. The numbers are the right size and the dimmer switch is a nice feature. It's not cheap but I feel it's worth the money. A very nice addition to he shack. Thanks Jack!

Great Clock Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I bought this clock in 2001. Its still going and after several moves, I lost the wall wart. I called Jack and got another one and its back working. I would recommend it for anyone wanting a clock thats easily visible and accurate.

Great Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Jack, at ElectronicsUSA was very helpful in getting me a replacement "wall-wart" transformer.
He shipped it out priority mail and I had it within 3 days. Now my 7 year old CK-2 has been set to WWV (10 MHz.) and is percolating again. The 9 Volt backup battery is great. If your power goes out, the display goes blank, but clock continues to run internally. When power is restored, your time readout appears again and is still correct! No flashing clock like the one in my bedroom or on the coffee maker. I love the bright red digits and the UTC and Local time display simultaneously. Wonderful product. Jack warned me to keep the C-A-T away from the new transformer!! HI HI! Thanks Jack and Electronics USA. 73, Joe, K5EUY.

I have owned the CK-2 Dual Time Zone Clock for 7 years now. It is the one with UTC on top and Local Time on the bottom. The only problem I ever experienced was not the fault of manufacture. My cat decided to chew through the cord coming off the "wall-wart" transformer! I made a repair but it proved unsatisfactory. The break was too close to the transformer. I have ordered a new supply for it.
Jack of ElectronicsUSA was very helpful in getting the right "wall-wart", as there have been a number of upgrades with the clock. Thanks for a great product!
