A radio controlled clock (100) comprising a main unit (200) and three interchangeable antenna modules (300). The main unit (200) includes an operating circuitry (250) and contacts (240). The circuitry (250) has a CPU (251) and three decoders (251′/252/253) connected thereto for decoding RF time signals of different carrier frequencies received by the modules (300), which decoders are connected to the contacts (240). Each module (300) has a body (310) connectable to main unit body (210), an operating circuitry (350), and contacts (324) connectable to the contacts (240) when the module (300) is connected to the main unit (200). The circuitry (350) has a receiver (330) tuned to receive a RF time signal of a specific carrier frequency broadcast in a particular country and then send the received signal via the contacts (324/240) to the relevant decoder (251′/252/253) for enabling the CPU (251) to display the local time at display (217).
A radio controlled clock comprising a main unit and at least two separate antenna modules selectively connectable to the main unit for co-operation therewith;
