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.
