So Doug's Spectracom WWVB receiver shows a green lock status. I didn't believe
it, but he sent a photo. I then tried it here and the same thing happens to me.
It's very suspicious because we know these old carrier phase WWVB receivers
don't work with the enhanced WWVB broadcast format.
Instead
Hal when I was building de-psk-ers and such I have to say I did not see the
imbalance. It looked pretty solid in timing.
The fact that at each minute for the first number of seconds the phase is
actually fixed just before the preamble is useful.
It clears out any possible buildup if it existed.

The month recently changed from 3 to 4. A while ago, the bottom digit of the
year changed from 8 to 7. I think the out-of-phase time is shorter for a 0
than for a 1. Would a few more 0 bits be enough to push it into sync?
Is there "goodness" parameter that you can monitor? It might be intere

If any of you have Spectracom WWVB 816x or 817x receivers you might want to try
them too.

Hi, Doug,
How is your 8161 doing now? Still synced properly? Should I bring my
8164 up from the basement? I was so disappointed when WWVB changed
their modulation. Thanks for any encouragement.

Hi, My Spectracom 8161 comparator and 8171A clock are chugging right along in
sync with the proper time. I have only looked at the digital LED output and it
is within one second of my other WWVB clocks. Seems like magic. It came in
synch about two weeks ago and stayed there. I haven't changed
