the "atomic" clock keeps accurate time by updating its setting with a time signal broadcast from colorado.

the radio synch with the noaa atomic clock signal is a nice touch too.

this product has a great design and the radio signals are clean and clear.
from Papa, www.target.com
one word of caution, though: do not manually set the time or make the other settings before the radio picks up the atomic clock signal.

the clock's kinda hard to set until the atomic signal kicks in, and it's kinda expensive.
from www.amazon.com
i live in minnesota and i didn't have to do anything special to get it to find the radio signal.
from www.amazon.com
the atomic antenna attaches to the clock, with the option of removing it and hanging it on the wall nearby in case the signal calls for that.
