Works well where other radio controlled clocks won't!
1 of 1 found this helpful I wanted to put a radio controlled clock in my steel barn. I tried an ordinary so-called "atomic" clock and it failed to receive the signal. Not even at night when LF (low frequency) radio signals are much stronger. I am in California and the WWVB timing transmitter is near Fort Collins, Colorado. The problem is that my steel barn acts as a shield, keeping AM radio and LF clock-setting signals out. The signal is very weak in the steel barn. So I decided to try the "Ultratomic" clock. WWVB's clock-setting radio signal uses two different encoding methods. The simple legacy modulation format is high-low amplitude modulation, sort of like Morse code. Almost all radio controlled clocks use this mode. But a few years ago WWVB started using BPSK (binary phase shift keying) which is much more robust. Both signals are transmitted together. A BPSK receiver such as the "Ultratomic" clock will work with much weaker signals. The bottom line is that the Ultratomic clock not only worked in the barn, it set itself during DAYTIME hours when the LF signal is weakest. I was delighted. So if you are very far away from Fort Collins, Colorado (such as the east coast) and ordinary radio-controlled clocks don't work at your location, try one of these.

Works well, fan runs a lot
I am running this inverter with panels that result in about 200 watts of AC power. It works well compared to others I have used. My only complaint is that the fan runs a lot, at only 40% of the intverter's rated power. The fan runs maybe 2/3 of the time. It is in a barn, where the temperature has been around 90 degrees. The fan is probably the least reliable component. I just hope that if (when) the fan fails, that there is a thermal cutoff to prevent a fire.

Nice compact desk but assembly problems
3 of 3 found this helpful I'm happy with this computer desk, but there were some problems. The main problem, as others have mentioned, is the terse and minimal instructions. Eventually I was able to figure out how it went together. But then there was the problem of missing hardware. Some screws, nuts, etc. were missing - and some other screws and nuts had a few extras of each. Fortunately, I have a good hardware stash and was able to come up with the missing parts. If you don't have a good collection of hardware, plan on making a trip to the hardware store to get the missing parts. One other minor problem I noticed was that the nice, attractive glass top was not a good surface for my optical mouse. It was a problem easily solved - just use a non-skid mouse pad and you'll be in business. In spite of the problems, overall I like this desk.
