About the time signal transmitter
DCF77
This radio-controlled alarm clock receives its radio
signals from the time signal transmitter DCF77.
This broadcasts the precise and official time of the
Federal Republic of Germany on the long-wave
frequency of 77.5 kHz. The transmitter is located
in Mainflingen near Frankfurt am Main and, with
its range of up to 2000 km, supplies the majority
of radio-controlled clocks in western Europe
with the necessary radio signals. As soon as the
radio-controlled alarm clock is supplied with
power, it switches to reception and searches for
the signal from the transmitter DCF77. If the time
signal is received in sufficient strength, the display
shows the date and time. The radio-controlled
alarm clock switches on several times a day and
synchronises the time with the radio signal from
the transmitter DCF77.
