I doubt it will, does you current one get its radio signal from Rugby? If so it's not likely to work here..

It should get the radio signal from somewhere before it can work properly.

On a similar subject, all the satellite recievers have something similar. Unfortuately my experience is that most channels do not bother to set their clocks properly, hence if you adjust the settings of your reciever to get the time from the channels, your receiver clock will go wild. I found out that TRT1, the official national channel of Turkey always carry the correct time signal. Hence I adjusted the settings to get the time signal only from this channel. whenever we have a power cut and the clock of the reciever resets itself to sero, I tune to channel TRT1 for a couple of minutes and my receiver clock is adjusted automatically. Even my wife learned to do that

Hi Paddywack,

We brought two over with us a wall clock and an alarm clock neither stay at the correct time

even if we change the time manually both clocks change back to the wrong time by the next

morning, sometimes by an hour and sometimes three hours not sure why the difference

unless our time changing fairy is a little imp.
