Understanding Your Kincaid Radio Controlled Clock Kincaid radio-controlled clocks (often referred to as "atomic clocks") provide superior accuracy by synchronizing with the WWVB radio signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. While these clocks are designed to be "set and forget," initial setup and occasional troubleshooting are common requirements. The Clock Depot Initial Setup Instructions
