Lines: 24 I've been looking for a cheap, off the shelf digital clock to keep (you guessed it), UTC time. However, the new clocks don't seem to have a 24 hour format option/switch. What's worse, the store people don't even know what 24 hour format is!! I had one sales guy say "ya, sure. Its got the AM light here, and the PM light there...". Grrrrrr!!!! My guess is that *all* of them are capable of 24 hour format. Just requires one pin to be grounded or tied high. But I don't want to spend $20 to find out that it has an unrecognizable Japaneez part # in it. My preference is for a *big* LCD clock, due to lower currents thus less RFI. So my question is: What makes can be easily modified to show 24 hour format, and which pins are involved? Surely several of you have already been through this... so *gasp*, *help*... Tnx in advance. -- 73s de VE3WWG (Warren)..............LSI represents Large Scale Investment, .................transistors are "discrete", but tubes are just plain fun. ................Bramalea Software Systems Inc...!utgpu!telly \ !brambo!wwg ...................!{uunet!mnetor, watmath!utai}!lsuc!ncrcan /
