[time-nuts] Spectracom 8170 Time of Day grief...

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The cheap La Crosse wall clocks seem to do fine with the new WWVB format.

http://www.amazon.com/La-Crosse-Technology-WT-3128U-12-Inch/dp/B0039O6W88/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1371230316&sr=8-16&keywords=la+crosse+clock

Is one, there are an enormous number of different models. I suspect that they all use the same chips.
