The WWV ticks from my WiNRADIO Excalibur receiver are about 1/4 second behind my cheap Tecsun portable. That's the delay in the signal processing pipeline. The Excalibur hardware is basically an analog to digital converter. It plugs into a USB port on your computer, where the receiver is digitally implemented. The ticks from WWV (303 499 7111) and the USNO (719 567 6742) are also delayed about 1/4 second as heard in my phone. On the other hand, the digital clocks on this page are dead accurate as best I can judge by eye and ear. https://www.time.gov/ The Tecsun receiver is my only absolutely trustworthy source of time ticks with no perceptible delay. -- Paul Hirose sofajpl.com
