Problem 

Solution 

The Radio Controlled Time does not set. 

 

Be patient. Wait at least one week before 
contacting Ambient Weather.

 The RCC is a 

shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, 
Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by 
bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better 
at night due to solar interference during the 
daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the 
weaker the signal. Urban environments can also 
affect the signal strength.
