Hi most radio watches need to be kept near a window, this is so it can receive the radio signal. I've heard from a lot of people that these watches from rnib are not very good for receiving the signal. I've got five talking clocks and every now and again I have to put these near the window to get the right time.

Hi all,

We're just checking up whether anyone is able to confirm whether or not the
radio time signal sent from Cumbria (we think) is in fact in operation and
working well.

We recently changed the battery in Mike's watch and all appeared to go well
for a few weeks then, suddenly, a few days back, it stopped updating.  We're
wondering whether or not a chip has gone in the watch, or if there's a fault
with the signal for some reason.  We're not aware of anything going on which
would block the signal in our area.

If all else fails then I'll just have to change the batteries in our atomic
clock and see if that resets.  If it receives no signal, that will also
become redundant.

Any information which helps us with this would be gratefully received.
