Yup. I keep coming back to the same place. I can’t find one anywhere that does all 3. I came close. They make one in the UK, but it syncs to whatever they have over there, not the WWV

Jason,
I have a Sam’s clock in the shack and it certainly does do both 24 hour and GMT. Exactly what we need. It is digital however.

The ones at Sam's and menards won't read Zulu time.

Mike,
The clock of mine that is syncing is a Sam's Clock.

Sam's Club has these atomic wall clocks.

I have purchased several and all seem to keep sync'ed to WWV very well. The
three I bought for the studios at WQUB always matched one another. I bought
another for the club station at W9AWE. When I bought them they were 19.95
each. Not sure what the price is now.

I saw one the other day in Menards, around $20.
I can see why some want digital (easier to read) but some like analog
because of the "Identify on the 10 minute rule"
