Re: Re: Radio clock

[ian.bird@xxxxxxx]

Indeed I am building one. Currently it is working and outputs serial
and
LCD data, not xAP messages. I would say it is not cheap as the hardware
on
its own is around 35 pounds including a PCB, aerial, PIC chip and
receiver
module etc. The latter is the killer at 20 pounds on its own. Mail me
off
list if you want to know more about it (or on list if others are
interested).

Ian Bird is building one (on the xAP list), I don't know if he's
accepting commissions.

Other option is a GPS receiver. Extracting the time signal is easy if
the receiver has NMEA output. But the receiver needs a clear view of
the horizon, which may be problematic.
