Initially, I was thinking that the clock had the software to determine the change in daylight time and I think my La Crosse Technologies Clocks and my other atomic clock has a setting for this. But here in the U.S., didn't they change the DST data change? So, if the clocks changed accordingly, then it means that some kind of signal had to be sent. And two of my clocks changed.
One clock did not change, but that is because I have it here in the shack and it is set to UTC:) The L.T. clocks are very nice units as they do a number of things, including remote detection of the temperature, relative air pressure (up or down), etc. And you can use one outdoor sensor for both clocks to detect. I have no idea how something like this can be sold for such a low price ($30, I think it was at Wal-Mart) and that includes an outdoor sensor for that price. Needless to say, I have a spare sensor if anything happens to the currently use one. They worked very well through this winter which is much better than when I had a much more expensive Radio Shack indoor/outdoor thermometer that never worked well at all. To put this in perspective, when I was growing up, it would have been total fantasy to suggest that someday there would be such a product and it would be sold for $5 (in 1950's prices). 73, Rick, KV9U jgorman01 wrote: > My atomic clock changed right on time.
