Hi Mike: Note that the way a clock checks to see of it has received the data correctly is to compare two adjacent frames and check to see that they differ by one minute. If the clock was smart it would start to listen a few minutes prior to midnight and would recognize that there was going to

Replying to my own post, there are two bits that indicate daylight saving time changes. Here's a paragraph from page 27, Lombardi, "NIST Time and Frequency Services", NIST Special Publication 432, 2002 Edition: "Daylight saving time (DST) and standard time (ST) information

It depends on where you live. If your latitude is 30 deg or greater it's fantastic. But I concede in the tropics it's not that useful. It's divided us here in Australia because we cover such a large range of latitudes. I'd presume it's the same in the US. At -43 deg S I wouldn't be without it - mak

I have two inexpensive WWVB clocks and one updated correctly, the other didn't. Since they are identical models, I have to assume that one of them just missed the transmission. As for moving to AZ, I like that idea. I'm next door in NM and I never have liked the idea of DST. Joe KA5ZEC On Sun, N
