Why would it automatically synch to pacific time zone when I am in central time zone? Its always two hours behind.

Maybe the default out of the box setting is the Pacific time zone and you need to reprogram it to Central?   Think

There is no way to reprogram that I can find or see in the manual.

I looked your  station  manual up on the web and on PAGE 3 it tells you how to set  the clock up. Are you getting an strong enough signal to update it. WWV is at times weak due to atomspherics.  Try setting the clock to your time zone  first then  turn the atomic clock on and see what it dos after couple days of operation at  manual mode

Unfortunetly I have tried, set to correct local time, but the next day it read the atomic clock and went back to pacific time when it received a good signal. I believe I can set it, turn the atomic clock off, but that defeats the purpose and won't be accurate after a while.

Do you have like we have in the European version a tiny manual switch where the 4 batteries are? We have the EU or UK option there. According to manual you have "manual" time zone switches.
