Why? oh why? is this only available as an analog clock?? I am wondering if Lacrosse only has the rights to an analog version and that a higher priced digital version will show up in some "professional" line from another vendor. This is at least a plausible theory because this is a well known business model: "incremental" revenue that doesn't "cannibalize" the cash cow. At least this is/was popular with HP/Agilent/Keysight management where I work(ed). Rick N6RK On 4/4/2017 8:00 PM, paul swed wrote: > Really can't say that its c-max or not.

In the office where I work, they have 5 clocks on the wall showing local time here at HQ and at 4 other company sites. It is embarrassing that the clocks are always a few minutes off from each other. I can see where these would make sense. Rick N6RK On 4/5/2017 4:30 AM, Bob kb8tq wrote: > HI > > UTC I understand.

Hi The Lacrosse wall clocks I’m using now are hybrid analog / digital displays. You get the time analog and the date off the digital display. For whatever reason, that model is now history.

I’m *sure* :) that the embedded information in the chip takes care of all that stuff correctly …. On a side note, my Citizen WWVB watch missed the change to DST this year. I still had it set to European time and it was not able to figure out which system to update to. I suppose it also may have been looking for DCF77 rather than WWVB. Multiple time zone stuff is *not* simple.
