Atomic Clock Signal

For those of you who live in parts of the world where you do NOT receive the US or European atomic clock signals - how does your weather station, like the 265NC, work? Is that signal necessary for it to work correctly? I plan on taking my unit to Costa Rica and know they don't the signal.

No signal in Australia and no problems either.

Also no radio clock in NZ, and no probs. I don't understand the benefit of it - is highly accurate time really needed for a home weather station? My console keeps good time (better than my PC without correction) and I'm happy if it's within a minute of true time.

It might pay to compare the console time with your PC clock occasionally in case it drifts, but you probably won't see a change of more than a few seconds over a year or so.

Totally irrelevant in Cumulus as it takes the time from the computer (which in turn can take it's time from the UTC time on the 'net). G-Weather and pywws are the same.
