   It's not a commercial unit.  As it says at
   [1]http://www.maxmcarter.com/rubidium/index.php, " Almost 30 years ago,
   I built a receiver for WWVB roughly based on a Don Lancaster design."
   Apparently this refers to an old article, " Don Lancaster,
   Experimenting with WWVB, Radio Electronics, August/September 1973".

     Thats what I was reading. But have to say I have never seen a
     commercial divider chain that could be changed. The spectracoms
     divide to 20 Khz and mult by 3. So would like to see that circuit.

   Regards

     As I read it, the feedback divider was reprogrammed.

     Also curious on the rcvrs doubling to 120 KHz another multiplier or
     did the
     rcvr happen to have a way to change that frequency? The note says
     that the
     rcvr local carrier doubled.

     Have you actually tried it and gotten it working, except possibly in
     a
     very strong signal area?

     Hi,
     From: "Bob Camp" <[4]lists at rtty.us>

     A tuned antenna probably is going to provide all the selectivity
     you'd
     need.

     Another possibility is to modify your old circuit like that:
