[Heath] New GPS Clock

[Larry McDavid]

I have long enjoyed my two Heathkit GC-1000 WWV clocks and keep them 
operating. They are rather unique and command an astounding price on eBay.

But, a similar new clock with red 7-segment LED displays including a 
tenth-second digit display like the GC-1000 has become available. Rather 
than using WWV, it uses the GPS satellite constellation. It is 
configurable for world-wide time zone, DST, 12/24 hour and display 
brightness. Check:

I got this clock a few days ago. After power-up it took only about two 
minutes to display GPS time. It is powered by a small 5 vdc wall-wart 
supply. Its displayed time correlates well with WWV and the clock has 
worked flawlessly. I've turned down the display brightness several times 
but it is still brighter than the GC-1000 displays.

Ok, not Heathkit but functionally identical to the GC-1000 and with 
modern electronics. Well... it does not have "hold-over" but so long as 
GPS is received, it displays time.

Ask if you have questions. No, I am not the designer/seller, just a 
satisfied user.
