[EIDXA] How hard is it to find a clock?

[Jason Joens]

The ones from G-land don't sync to the WWV, they sync to the euro-equivelant
of it.  Not compatable. 
Digital clocks are easier, but the analog wall clocks have a little slider
switch that only covers US timezones.

I guess I'm a bit confused.

All of the atomic clocks I've seen let you set the TZ;  The requirement
isn't that it have 2 TZ (CDT and UTC), right?  Now, the ones I have are all
digital and not analog and I haven't cycled through all of the
options..but.. if they make them market specific, next time you're talking
to a G, ask him to send you one from his homeland.
