Yes, if your audio system works with the NTP Audio decoder drivers. For WWV/H see: http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.4/drivers/driver36.html or http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/html/drivers/driver36.html For CHU see: http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.4/drivers/driver7.html ior http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/html/drivers/driver7.html > The primary reason is that I get the impression that ntp radio clocks > are for sale at very high prices.

For optimal performance you would need to install a serial port card in your PC to use it. A USB serial port adapter would work but the time signal stability will be degraded. > I already have very nice Sony 7600G HF portable and that gets the time > freq. from 2.5 to 15 very well. Sounds like WWV ... the Type-36 driver is the one you need. -- Steve Kostecke <koste...@ntp.org> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
