A seriously geeky clock:
We need to get a new clock for the table across the room in the
bedroom. It would be best if it was readable at night without my
glasses (my vision isn't that bad, but a lighted display is essential)
and if it reset itself using radio broadcasts (refered to as a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock">radio-controlled
clock) as we have so many power outages. More features would be
nice (weather, AM/FM/Scanner, etc), but I don't want a cluttered
display. What to people recommend?
NIST has a list of manufactures of time and frequency receivers
I'd like to spend less than $100.

I kind of leaning towards the La Crosse WT-5120U.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel like a kit clock, Lady Ada has the Ice Tube with the GPS add-on for time sync.

ReplyDeleteEnded up getting the cheapest sony clock. Not exciting and doesn't do radio time keeping, but it works.
