Yes , I  tried RadioClocks UK but no helping hand...they offered if I ship

receiver part is not a big deal,

Hi Ernie
 
I have some paperwork on the RCC8000, part, if not  all, of some sort of 
manual and perhaps some schematics  too.
If that sounds vague it's because it was sent to me a few years ago and  soon 
ended up in storage.
 
I didn't reply earlier as I couldn't find it at home, which means it's  
probably still buried in storage and I have no idea when I'm likely to find  it.
 
If nobody else has a copy, and you don't mind waiting, I'm happy to share  
what I've got.
It might be soon, but it could be quite a wait.
 
I have a couple of RCC8000s, also buried somewhere so it's a while since  
I've seen them too, but I suspect any difference, aside from a fairly minor  
retune of the receiver, is going to be in the firmware.
 
Both mine are for MSF and I have no idea whether or not there will be any  
firmware information in the documentation I have.
 
I know it'll be a pain if you're so close to DCF77, but I don't think  it 
should be very difficult to knock up a reasonable antenna for MSF,  which might 
make life a lot easier.
 
regards
