For the moment, I just want a better clock for more accurate "out times", so plain old seconds would be easiest. If I get something much more sophisticated, it may inadverdently launch me into Unlimited Class (The horror!). For the Friday evening TSDs I've done, the rallymaster just sets a WWV radio clock on the top of his car at sign up for time synch and I've also just used a little hand-held GPS to set time. I can only hope that the rallymaster is setting their clock accurately to that tone ('cause I never see it).

Agree. Big Numbers!
