    Re: Atomic clock and local time

    As the other writer noted, they can drift considerably between "updates" back to WWVB.   Try comparing to time from a GPS unit or your computer (after doing an "resynchronize time").  Depends on the brand of clock -- I got one for free as part of a giveaway and it seems to keep excellent time between resynchronizations.   At the same time, I helped a non-profit install a bunch of "atomic" wall clocks, only one in three can actually pick up WWVB's signal here in the SF area.

    Lu,
    For the moment I'm trying to use the time on one of the LaCrosse "atomic" clocks.


    Thanks,
    Sam L.
