	Hello Bob and other friends,


	So how much do you want this?   My issue was to find a GMT
clock that set itself with a 24 hour display.   So what did I
do?   I bought a GeoChron.  https://www.geochron.com


	I'm actually on my second one.  I wanted the newer version that
would allow you to add the ham (subscription) layers.   I had
upgraded mine once but you need the "Atlas" version to do
this.  The trade-in was paltry so I gave it to a very good ham buddy
who is enjoying it very much.  


	The GeoChron is happiest with a 4K display.   So you are
looking at about $400 for a nice 4K 50 inch display TV and
wall-mount.   The GeoChron will run you about $450. 


	You can feed it internet via Wifi or ethernet.


	Smile.


	73,


	Michael KB1JEY
