I was looking for a replacement for the expensive ICOM receiver I was
using for SDR. I did look at hamtronics kit at over 50 dollars.
But I found it in a WWV Radio Shack TimeKube that I found
on Ebay for about 12 dollars. They were made till about the early
80's but they show up on Ebay periodically and
make a great and inexpensive receiver for wwv. They pick up 5, 10 and
15 mhz. I replaced the 9volt battery with an inexpensive 9v p.s.
5mhz signal is receivable here 24hours.
Works as well, if not better, than the expensive ICOM receiver.
Keyword search (description and text) WWV should show them on Ebay.
I have not heard that many good results from the newer type "clock"
receivers, and that probably depends more on your location.
