The new version adds GPS time synchronization, either via a GPS receiver plugged into the back of the clock, or by using an RF-Link repeater module which talks to the clock over short-range 2.4GHz radio. This clock uses the B-7971 Nixie tube, which displays alphanumeric characters 2&frac12;&#8221; tall.<\/p>\n<p>The RF-Link lets you completely avoid the problem of needing to position the clock within a few feet of a window or resort to using a bunch of PS\/2 extension cords. Now you can put the clock exactly where you want it. The RF-Link remote also includes an indoor temperature sensor and a pushbutton which can be used to remotely turn the clock display on and off.<\/p>\n<p>I have a separate page <a href=\"\/mod-6-nixie\/\">here<\/a> describing the clock, but I&#8217;m adding a link here so people can find it, and also to facilitate comments (while the actual clock page doesn&#8217;t support comments, you can comment here).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a couple of teaser pictures &#8211; click either picture for more info:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/mod-6-nixie\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"6F5S8511-s.jpg\" alt=\"MOD-6 Nixie clock\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<center><a href=\"\/mod-6-nixie\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"6F5S8524-s.jpg\" alt=\"MOD-6 RF-Link\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>For more info or to order a kit or assembled clock, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/badnixie.com\/BadNixie.com_Welcome.html\">MOD-6 page<\/a> at BadNixie.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H Carl Ott and Michael Barile recently released the GEN II version of their fabulous MOD-6_7971 Nixie clock, and I ordered several kits from them.
