Radio controlled clocks
Hi all,
I have 4 different radio controlled clocks, 2 that receive their time signals from the UK and 2 that use transmitters in Germany.
They have all worked before when the clocks have changed but none of them have altered when they should have on Sunday morning, has anyone else had the same problem ? Thanks. Oh and one of them is a wrist watch.
Sorry, but I have put this in the wrong place could someone please move it for me, thank you.

Re: Radio controlled clocks
All our radio control clocks changed some time in the small hours of Sunday morning. Some use MSF (was located in Rugby but is now on the Solway Firth) and some DCF77 (located in Braunschweig, Germany).

Re: Radio controlled clocks
Mine went bonkers with the hands going round-and-round for ages before it got synch.... that must use a lot of battery power, so maybe you have low batteries?

Re: Radio controlled clocks
Same happened to me on my mobile phone clock, it did not self adjust and is still 1 hr. slow. I wonder if it was something to do with the unusual timing of BST and the onset of a very early Easter ? I have a digital clock which takes its signal from a German source and that adjusted overnight.

Re: Radio controlled clocks
He's being bugged by NSA/GCHQ, and the microwave radiation is causing interference?

Re: Radio controlled clocks
My watch changed the talking part fine - but the hands went out of synch by five plus hours - so I've had to take the battery out to reset the hands to 12 o clock and get it to set itself up again.
