Radio Clock listens to radio time signals
from your radio and corrects the time on your PC clock.
Radio Clock enables you to decode the time signals sent by various LF and HF radio stations in the standard frequency and time service. Radio Clock uses your PC to display the time code received from the radio station, using a suitable receiver, and compares it with the local time on your PC.
