I have had great success using this Satellite receiver
and the following software.

I use it a lot to sync a laptop when doing FT8

Dimension4 is an app that runs on the PC and I use it for the Digi Modes. Not sure if that is "good enough".  Its Freeware for personal usage at home, educational usage at schools and universities, and usage by charitable organizations. Link: Thinking Man Software - Dimension 4 v5.3 (thinkman.com)

Hi Dave,
There is no atomic clock that listens to WWV to automatically set the time. They only make US time zone clocks.
I use a Raspberry Pi and run a program called Ham Clock. Just to let you know that Raspberry PI is a tricky program and it took me 2 days to get Ham Clock to run. I almost purchased a Geochron that runs on a PC or TV screen, Gigi Parts sells them for $450. The Geochron and Ham Clock both use the internet to sync the correct time.

Sorry that I could not be of more help but I too was looking for a clock to do both GMT and local time that syncs with a standard and could not find one.

  I need a recommendation or 2 for an accurate clock for my shack.  Digital please.  I now have a MFJ 12/24 hour dual LCD clock which is patently inaccurate? 

  Suggestions?
