Hi Bill: On the "to do" list is a version based on Richard McCorkle's RS232 Time Interval counter. For a minimum cost version a different PIC is needed than the 16F88 used in the Current Version (PC4). Once the TI counter is part of the clock then all kinds of neat things can be done. I'll keep in the looking at the mains.
In the PC4 there's a software TI counter good to 1 ms that can be used to trim the Real Time Clock chip.
