Sangean RCR-2 Digital Atomic Clock Radio with Dual Alarms

AM/FM DIGITAL ATOMIC CLOCK RADIO

 

This modern clock radio is a step above the clock radios of the past. For starters, the radio updates its time automatically from the U.S. atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. While this may force you to work or school on time, the benefits of a constantly updated timepiece are critical in this fast-paced world. The radio even adjusts itself automatically for daylight saving time. The illuminated LCD screen gives you vital information, including: time, date, day of week, sleep, wake times, naptime, and radio information. With the gentle wake option, you can choose for the radio's volume to start low and slowly build over time. The AM/FM radio has fourteen presets for individual programming. The clock radio also features an automatic preset system which scans and memorizes available radio stations. With the two alarms you can set wake-up times on the same or different days of the week. The sleep timer is a nice feature for those who use the radio as a sleep aid. There is a headphone jack for people who want to listen to the radio without bugging the person besides them. The clock radio's color is silver and its styling is modern and sleek.

Sangean RCR-2 Digital Atomic Clock Radio with Dual Alarms Reviews

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.
 
I'm really good at figuring out gadgets so wasn't worried about the complex operations of this clock. Problem is in the quality. At first, mine behaved erraticly--sometimes waking to radio would work, sometimes it didn't. 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....
 
Really like the item. Size is perfect and the radio tone is superb. 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 would urge anyone wishing to get out from under having to re-set the clock to go atomic. Also watch the literature and not accidently buy an automatic. 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...
