| "malua mada!" <fritzo2ster@gmail.com>: Jun 22 11:48AM -0700 I have an Oregon Scientific alarm clock that has five prominent buttons on its face: Clock, UP, DOWN, ALARM, ZONE. I have hit the zone button by mistake before. It steps through the 4 US time zones. |

I just figured that it made a mistake interpreting the received signal, perhaps due to interference. It has corrected by the next day each time. |

Did the errors occur overnight or during the day when you could more likely get local interference? Looked inside and only identifying features are these overlay numbers on the 2 boards ykf14547 ad085220 ad085211 otherwise little more than 2 crystals and 2 black epoxy humps over RF end and LCD handling SM chips |
| thekmanrocks@gmail.com: Jun 23 01:21AM -0700 My "radio time code" system never fails: I have a shortwave radio, tune in time signals at 5, 10, 15, or 20mHz, and set all my clocks and watches at the beep. Works like a charm! |

How do you know if there is a digital relay link somewhere in the transmission train? I used to rely on the teletext time that came with the VITS of analogue TV, but all gone belly-up with digital MUX. In the UK we have the ridiculous business of the genuine radio pips relayed onto the "radio" sections of MUX TV, can be up to 10 seconds out via the codec delays. |

If using a short wave receiver the signal is being picked up direct from a station in the US. The only delay is the time it takes for the signal to get to you by radio which is around the earth about 7 times in one second and the delay of the sound from the speaker to you rear. Both are much faster than you cn hit a button on the clock to set the time. |

The RF end should be localisable by general inspection, small value caps . |

However, when I replaced any component on that strip using regular 60/40 solder, the previously shiny joint became very dull looking. Must be some odd brew Pb free solder they have over in Vietnam. ... Phil |
