Abstract:	Two institutions maintain local UTC scales in Argentina : the Observatorio Naval Buenos Aires (ONBA) and the Instituto Geografico Militar Argentino (IGMA). ONBA provides the legal Argentine time scale. Both laboratories had been linked by TV for years. Since June 2001, a multi-channel TTS-2 receiver developed and constructed by the Polish Academy of Sciences has been operational at ONBA. GPS multi-channel common views between ONBA and USNO are calculated at BIPM within the organization of international time links. IGMA is equipped with HP5071A clocks and GPS single-channel receivers. A clock update is necessary at ONBA. Both laboratories are planning to work in close cooperation.
