What is your application?  There are other "radio clocks", but as far
as I know they will all get you into the "lab instrument" category...
If you've got $K to spend look in the EEM, Goldbook or other likely
equipment directory.

The Heath clock isn't bad for what it is, though it's only available
in kit form these days, and while the Radio Shack thing is toylike,
adding a filter/tone detector can generate usable time ticks/pulse
codes.
