Radio controlled clocks

[Carol Anne]

My R/C alarm clock has been useless for about a week now as It doesn't seem to be receiving the signal to operate it (the display has no bars showing) I've re-set it several times to no avail.
Anyone else having a similar problem?

Follow the instructions that came with it, place the clock in a different position like a high window sill and see if it picks up a signal there.

[Carol Anne]

No,the signal seems to be down

Have you tried what toureman said?

Ususally (unless you have a very unusual RC clock), the signal will be from the atomic clock, sent from Rugby (though I believe soon to be changed to Cumbria somewhere).

I have two devices that use this signal, and neither have had any troubles receiving it at all. If there's no signal, then the device itself is having a hard time receiving it, and it's not due to a lack of signal.

Yep - fo3nix is right, moving to Cumbria next year.

I did what toureman suggested, but the signal strength indidcator is still at zero. Had no trouble before with reception, so I guess it must just have packed in. (my clock, that is!) Very odd though, I wouldn't have expected such a thing to go wrong in that way.

It does seem a little strange. Try changing the batteries for totally brand new ones.

[Toureman]

Seems like it's had it Carol.
