They sell single and dual clock modules. The dual solves the four requirements above. (perhaps only half of item 1 -- I seem to remember that one of the clocks is 12 hour format only for local time) I've owned a dual unit for several years now and am quite pleased. The two clocks are completely independent (which is sometimes a minor agravation when they drift slightly out of sync -- but then that's my clue to tune in WWV again and go through the clock setting process!). They can each be set for time, date, or alternating time/date. I keep one in local time-only mode. The other I keep set to UTC in the alternating time/date mode. Keeping a UTC date display is important to me because of the confusion factor when UTC date isn't local date. Joe Flake, N4BGQ NCR Corp joe.flake@columbia.ncr.com
