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.
