WWVB??? Where? #2

Your project is a fine idea, and well-executed. However: ELV does not seem to source a WWVB receiver. They source only the DFC77 receiver, but that's not useful anywhere except Europe. Maybe you should remove the claim that your project supports WWVB?

Hey there.... i'm not sure what you mean by 'source' but the wwvb code is at line 128 of the main code, and activated by setting it in the config file. Did you try to implement it?

No I didn't because the source for the receiver hardware (ELV) does not offer a 60 kHz receiver. DFC77 operates at a different frequency.

The readme suggests that someone with geographical access to the WWVB signal tests it and gives feedback (and ideally required code tweaks). I'll look at the wording to make sure that it's not 'claimed' to be working. Closing for now.

If you intended it to suggest that someone with geographical access to WWVB test it, you should ALSO MENTION that they will need RECEIVER HARDWARE that is capable of receiving the signal and feeding it to the software. Once again, my point is that the bits about the receiver hardware is what is misleading. This could be a useful repo, but for that confusion.

But perhaps one of us is missing a basic point?
