How far do you want to transmit to this clock? You could transmit on the standard frequency, or hack the clock to receive another. (From asker's asker's clarifying comment) To further explain my purpose I'm not trying to improve the accuracy - I'm trying to broadcast and display an arbitrary local "stopwatch" time, unrelated to whatever the actual current time might be. I wondered whether I'd even need to change the frequency, or whether producing a local signal on the same frequency would have sufficient power to "override" the official time signal? However, I'm not really sure how I'd approach adjusting the receiver as described in a.) - or whether there's a better approach I could take? (or other flaws in my plan I haven't considered), and my Google-fu has not brought up any useful resources to suggest others having achieved this in the past. I've had a look at the signal standard, and I think I'd be able to broadcast a signal as described here using a handful of components and an Arduino. MSF in the UK, WWVB in US, or any number of other time signal stations across the world)?Īs I see it, this would involve two parts:Ī.) Adjusting the radio receiver in the unit to listen on a different radio frequency of a locally-provided time signal rather than the default frequencyī.) Broadcast the desired time signal in the expected format on that frequency. Is it possible to modify radio-controlled clocks (so-called "atomic" clocks, like ) to synchronise to an arbitrary (local) time signal rather than the standard time signal (i.e.
