I have two Chinese-made atomic clocks that did not adjust to the new time. My Casio atomic watch did adjust correctly. - Original Message - From: Brian Kirby [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Time Nuts time-nuts@febo.com Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 6:32 AM Subject: [time-nuts] Happy Leap Hour Day

I have several of those that did not adjust either. I simply changed the time zone and I will have to think about changing back in 3 weeks. I suppose the time signal includes DST info and these clocks do not use it, while the Casio does? Or is the Casio a new model that may have the right DST

I have had mine for a while and all I could say is, it was nice while it lasted :-) Well, on the positive side, you may be off by an hour, but the seconds will be right :-) I plan to take tomorrow off anyhow, that will give me another day to adjust my own body clock (with is not disciplined

One of the most important pieces of equipment I own is working ok without a DST update - my TiVo :-) DirecTV left a phone message just yesterday (very short notice) to tell me that my TiVo needed a software update, so I should plug it into the phone line. I can just imagine thousands of people

To address some of the recent DST postings... Clocks with hard-coded USA DST rules will be off by an hour for the three weeks from 11-Mar to 1-Apr-2007. Given how long it's been since the DST rules changed you can see why someone in a cheap or weak moment would design a clock with hardcoded

Tom, I was under the same impression as you, regarding RC clocks. However, I just pulled/replace the battery on one of mine and then forced an update. It still is an hour off. Am I missing something, or is the clock? - Original Message - From: Tom Van Baak [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Hi Tom: So, what's it take to make a Cell Phone Disciplined Oscillator? I've seen some timing products based on CDMA cell systems, but haven't seen any that use an actual cell phone. Have Fun, Brooke Clarke w/Java http://www.PRC68.com w/o Java

Does anyone have any information on the above Cesium Clock unit? I have had one sitting in my garage for a couple of years looking rather forlorn, since it is missing the A12 module.This looks to be part of one or more of the main power supplies, from what I have been able to work out

I do not know if my clocks (WWVB controlled types) are one of these hard coded one, or a smart one, but I will say the one feature that made me choose it over others was the low price (for a WWVB controlled model). Let's be honest, it was cheap. However, if it happens to have simply missed

What make/model? This is interesting. I have seen something like this before. It might work tomorrow. It might take one 2 AM transition. Or it might work in another hour when 11-Mar-2007 UTC is over. Can you try it again a few times and tell me when it first comes up with the correct time?
