4.4 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) Setup

The weather station features a radio-controlled clock that automatically sets the time and date. For the UK and Ireland, the MSF signal is used, transmitted from Cumbria (UK). For the rest of Europe, the DCF-77 signal is used, transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany.
