[Elecraft] WWV-driven station clock

[juergen]

Hi

I seem to recall that there was a  discussion some time back about adding this feature to the K3's firmware. The K3 would sync to a WWV broadcast on shortwave and correct the clock just like the famous Heathkit WWV clock.

I have 2 of the original Heathkit clocks, one I use and one is new in the box. I have been offered goldmines  for these clocks. I personally dont understand why they are still so sort after when any GPS receiver can do the same job.

There are many Nixie clocks sold on Ebpay with GPS sync. The blue VFD Nixie clocks look very nice.
