Hi Phil,
Atomic cloks usally update themselves daily.  They should be able to test it 
somehow.  If the company sells you this same clock on Jan 1, they still have 
to support the warranty.  Start calling.  73.  Gary KB2YAA

Subject: OT. Weather indoor & outdoor atomic clock question


Anybody have one of these from blind mice?  We, meaning my wife and I, =
got one for Christmas and it all works fine except the outdoor probe.  =
By that I mean, I put the batteries in and the main clock unit isn't =
getting a signal, apparently, and it is good for 150 feet.  I have it =
less than 10 feet away out the window.  Unfortunately, Blind Mice has a =
14 day return policy so you don't get much time to test it when it was =
saved a few days for a Christmas gift.  I just thought before trying to =
return it, maybe somebody on this list has one and knows about the =
probe.  I was a little concerned upon opening it at Christmas because =
there were no instructions but even a blind man can figure this one out =
so I'm wondering, the way it wasn't packaged, that is, not shrink =
wrapped and no instructions, if it had already been returned once =
before.  I bought a staple gun at a big hardware store once and when I =
got it home, I could see the way the box was torn, it had at least been =
opened and when I started using it, it wouldn't work right half the time =
so I returned it and next time checked the packaging closer before =
leaving the store.

Phil.
