Hi all, sorry about the off topic post, but then hams use talking clocks!
 GRIN!  We have aquired one of these clocks, and I can't find any info on
it.  I especially would love to have a list of the 4 switches and 4 buttons
that are on the back edge of the clock, behind the display.  I have figured
out a couple of them, but I don't have a clue what the others do.  I did try
I can work this thing, but the Misc, Consumer Electronics link must be
broken!  Thanks in advanced for any info anyone might have!
