Just that one (N96FY) has the automatic clock setting using the time signal, I believe.

Hi,

As far as I can see from the specifications, neither claims to have a radio synchronised clock. However, I see that both specs also claim a humidy range of 1% to 99% whereas I believe it is actually only 10% - 99%. Probably a misprint, but I have seen the 1% figure quoted by other sellers of these FO stations.

Another possible difference is that one uses 434 MHz radio frequency and the other 868 MHz. I had been considering getting the cheaper unit to investigate these differences, but instead I will be contributing to this thread in due course.

EDIT: I see that both specs mention operation at 868 MHz, yet surely we know that the N96FY uses (or did use) 434 MHz (certainly mine does). But my N96FY does NOT have the MSF clock, which would make it a 1081.

Cheers, Alan.

My N96FY (bought about three months ago) actually says "WH1081" on its battery cover. If it does have an MSF clock, it hasn't found a signal yet.
