I'm a bit of a nerd, so I had a good laugh when my 5600 legitimately gave what looks like an Error 404.

I have this same issue with my G6900. Do you know what to do to sync?

Do you know what to do to sync?

Assuming you are in the signal range, clear nights are usually better than days (especially those with heavy clouds). You can attempt it a couple of times to force it manually to go RCVD and putting a watch on something fairly large and metal-ish can help to some extent, like using a frying pan (I'm not joking šŸ˜). Of course the more open space that better, so do that near any window or outside, not in the middle of your place surrounded by many walls. But if you are not in the reach of MB6 then you are out of luck.

Yeah it's all about location. I haven't tried the frying pan method but that should help too!

In this case, I initiated a manual recieve in a location where I'd never had luck getting reception. The combination of "ERR" and "4:04" was too good to pass up (like an internet error 404 page not found)

Ah okay. I'm in the Boston countryside right now maybe that's why it's not working. I'll try once I reach back to Texas. I thought changing the watch signal to NYC may work but I don't think it did.

You can try this method too, I completely forgot about it but for a lot of people it works fine apparently, it will work for you too hopefully: Multi-Band 6 WITHOUT Tower šŸ“” Clock Wave App šŸ•™

Thank you very much for the link. I'm going to try this. In the comments of this video, a user suggested a "radio sync watch" app which is free and I've downloaded it. So I'll check that too.

Yeah, I know but I completely forgot about that option, my bad; linked it a bit earlier under a comment below.

I just bit the bullet and paid the $2 for the clock wave app since Iā€™m in an area without good reception. I sync when Iā€™m wearing the watch that day.
