MFJ Radio-Controlled 24/12 Hour Dual clock
MFJ-148RC is a specially designed clock for amateur radio. It has two independent atomic 24/12 hour clocks with exclusive UTC time zone and a dedicated Station ten minute ID timer.
It uses a single time base to keep both clocks perfectly synchronized.
It is radio controlled so it keeps perfect time. Each clock can be independently set for 12 or 24 hour display, time zone and DST on/off.
Set one clock on 12 hour format for local time and the other clock on 24 hour format for UTC.
Turn DST off on the UTC clock and you will never have to worry about time changes messing up the UTC time again.
Never forget to ID again.
Built-in 10 minute station ID timer with LED and buzzer alerts.
Timer resets by a simple press of the timer switch.
Huge 5Wx1.5H LCD display with LED backlights.
Flip stand for desk display and mounting hole for wall mount.
Uses two AA batteries (not included).
Black hard plastic cabinet is 6.5W x 3.5H x 3/4D inches.

I brought this to replace a smaller version ( MFJ-108B) which serve me well for several years but needed something larger in the ham shack.
Keep great time and easy to ready when I not wearing my glasses.

Headline says it all. The features you need as a ham are there, without a bunch of other stuff getting in the way. Setup was fast and easy, synced up with WWVB within five minutes. Pretty much perfect.

Nice clock, great features, the down side poor instructions and customer support. Could not find a MFJ tech to help me, I figured the issue myself.

This clock is a great station or Ham shack clock! It allows you to show Local time in 12-hour format, and UTC in 24-hour format without daylight savings time. It is also constantly updated by RF signal from the Atomic Clock in Boulder, CO, so the time is as accurate as it gets. It takes 2-AA batteries, and seems to work well with leakproof rechargeable NiMH batteries. Minor quibbles: I wish the 10-minute ID timer has a more prominent button on top, the backlight button is three times the length of the ID timer, I wish they were reversed. The only other quibble is the LCD display gets blurry at some angles, but this is likely due to the many more layers in the LCD screen than usually found, as both sides of the clock are in the same LCD display panel, so there are a lot of layers to activate. Regardless, it is an overall great station clock without paying the big bucks for clocks less portable than this one.
