Oregon Scientific Weather Station (WS)

Good morning all,

i have an older WS (BAR686) and in the booklet it states that:

"CLOCK RECEPTION
This product is designed to synchronize its date and time automatically once it is within range of:

•DCF-77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for Central Europe.
•MSF-60 generated from Rugby, England"

Is there any way to make this work in SA ????

i downloaded a WWVB emulator onto phone. If i run the app the WS picks up a signal, but does not lock on..... Icon doesn't stop flashing....

it also states in booklet:

"NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for first set up or when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal"

WIll this actually work, should i just leave if for a while to see if it sync's. or should i just set time manually

I just set the time manually.. i imagine the sync may also periodically check in to ensure its still correctly set, so if your phone and or app is missing during this check, it'll go out of whack anyway..
