This clock has all the features I was looking for in a new bedside clock radio. It is simple to set up. However, the screen is an amber color, and the digital numbers are so faint that I could barely see them. There was no way to adjust the brightness of the screen, so it was worthless for me and I returned it.
The radio has many features - set each day of the week differently, pick a radio station, etc. Good features, but takes awhile to figure it all out. My only complaint is that there is no battery back-up.
At first, mine behaved erraticly--sometimes waking to radio would work, sometimes it didn't. I'm really good at figuring out gadgets so wasn't worried about the complex operations of this clock. Problem is in the quality. Last straw, was when the time it went off started varying by a few hours. Being woken up at 2 AM was enough for me to ditch this.
I would urge anyone wishing to get out from under having to re-set the clock to go atomic. Size is perfect and the radio tone is superb. Really like the item. Also watch the literature and not accidently buy an automatic. My only complaint is that the dial is really difficult to read unless you are close to it. That's not a big thing, but just a minor annoyance. I had a Smart Set that wasn't geared to the new DST changes and it was most inconvenient when it changed before time. Over all I am very pleased with the Sangean atomic clock radio.
The RCR-2 is terrible.we could not get the Alarm to ring or have the radio go off the way we wanted.one day it would buzz but not on the on the correct staion mext it would go off on FM when set to AM. It did or did not do whatever you can think of. Maybe I had a bad one or maybe I'm too stupid to follow the instructions. Two of us --one reading step by step and the other person hitting the settings.no luck.
