Hi

WWV sync’d clocks are pretty rare these days. WWVB parts are all over the place. Unfortunately, GPS *is* the way most of this gets done these days. 

If the goal is “all in one box wired up as delivered” the range of WWVB boils down mainly to wall clocks. If hooking this to that and playing with computer nonsense is “ok”, there are dirt cheap WWVB modules out there.

The GC-1000 synced up with the 5/10/15MHz radio signals and displayed time in 1/10th second increments.  Something similar would be sweet.
