[time-nuts] Beginner's Atomic Clock

[David J Taylor]

From: pisymbol . 

Can anyone suggest a "starter" atomic clock project? By beginner's
something that is fairly easy to put together and isn't cost prohibited
(maybe a few hundred but not thousand).

Thanks!

Alex,

Perhaps you could clarify what exactly you mean by "Atomic Clock"?

- a box which has signal outputs of time and frequency?
- a box with an hours/minutes/seconds display which fits on the wall?
- something you can buy?
- something you can assemble?
- how accurate?
- stand-alone, or using a GPS reference?

This is my simple wall clock, accurate to a few tens of microseconds:

Cost to me: ~GBP 50.

Cheers,
David
