Review: Far superior functionality compared to Sangean K-200 (and any other clock radio I've ever owned) - I own both this model and the Sangean K-200 (and this review is cross-posted). The K-200 has superior sound quality and a smaller footprint on a bedside table, but this model is better in nearly every other way that's important to me; it's so much better that the K-200 got demoted to our office/sewing room and I now use this one as my daily alarm clock and go-to radio. Here's my take on why the RCR-5 is much easier to use... (1) Physical raised buttons for on & off and preset-changes. The RCR-5's buttons are easy to feel in the dark and work great. The K-200 has those flush under-the-skin membrane buttons and they do NOT work well; to the point that I have to press the on & off button several times to get it to work. So frustrating, especially when trying to turn off an alarm quickly -- I just gave up on snoozing it entirely. (2) Amber backlit display. This is SO critical for a good night's sleep if this alarm clock is going in your bedroom. Blue light triggers the "awake time" chemicals in our brains and amber light triggers the "sleepytime" ones; I found the K-200's blue glow to be difficult to fall asleep next to. I have a much easier time falling asleep with the RCR-5's amber light by my bed instead. (3) Weekday alarm. Both Sangean models offer this awesome feature (set an alarm to ring at the same time only on weekdays), but the RCR-5 is much easier to set. The K-200 makes you use the tuning dial to set the alarms (turn, then push to set), and it's hard to advance to the next thing without throwing your current setting off with an accidental twist of the dial as you push. (4) Fade-in alarm. Love this feature, both for the easy wake-up for myself and because it makes it easier for me to snooze or turn off the alarm before waking my husband earlier than necessary. RCR-5 has it, K-200 does not. (5) Volume set for alarms. One of the things you can set per alarm on the RCR-5 is the volume it will turn on to -- this is FABULOUS!! With the K-200, you have to physically turn the volume knob to the level you want the radio to turn on to in the morning; this is a pain if you also listen to the radio at a louder volume during the day. Or if you have a toddler...see below... (6) Volume control is a wheel on the side of the RCR-5, not a big glowy dial on the front (as it is on the K-200). This is particularly important if you have a toddler in the house! With the K-200, my daughter would wander by and randomly crank the volume all the way up while the unit was off, just to play with the big fun dial...so the next time I turned it on, BLASTING SOUND! Ouch. I finally learned to turn down the volume before turning the K-200 on, but it was a hard-won lesson. The much more subtlety-placed wheel on the RCR-5 doesn't look like a shiny toy, so she hasn't messed with it yet. Hooray. All in all, the RCR-5 has the best functions & features of any clock radio I've ever had. I wish it had the nicer sound of the K-200, but the RCR-5 just works better for me in every other way.
Review: Good, basic digital tuning clock radio. - It's a good, basic alarm clock radio with a digital tuner. Pros: - Does everything it is supposed to - Beep alarm starts softly and increases in volume - Digital tuner - Radio is good as long as antenna cord is dangled or raised from radio, station is strong or moderate strength, and the desired volume is moderate for same room use. Cons: - Alarm volume could be louder towards the end of the loudness increasing cycle. - Interface is non-obvious enough that you'll have to read the short manual (10 small pages with big type and some pictures). It is simple enough that you'll probably only need to read the manual once. - Radio reception is poor is the antenna cord isn't either dangled down or raised up. Radio reception experiences bleed over from neighboring stations on weakest stations. Radio max volume is fine for same room use, but don't expect to blare the radio. - Battery backup only lasts 10 minutes Now some lesser published info: - The brightness on the display is adjustable from extremely dim to pretty bright. At the dimmest setting it puts out enough light to just see your thumb in a dark room at 6 inches from the display. In other words, you'll definitely see it if looking at it in a dark room but it will be very dim. At the brightest setting, the display is very bright if you look at it, but not so bright that it lights up the room that much. Basically, it will cast a pale light in the vicinity of the clock (within ~ 3'), but I couldn't even see the effect on the far wall of the room (~ 12' away). The power light in the upper right of the top is also lit red, but it is dim at all times. The brightness of the display goes to max after hitting a button for about 3 seconds and then returns to the set brightness. The brightness setting knob is analog and on the bottom of the unit. - The radio reception works ok for me. It is very sensitive to the antenna position. For the faintest stations it seems to only work well if I am touching the antenna. The strong and moderate stations work fine with the antenna cord either hanging down from the unit or raised up from the unit. - The snooze is fixed at 5 minutes and not adjustable. If the alarm goes off and you hit the snooze twice, it still goes off in 5 minutes. (Just what I wanted) - The human wake system feature starts with a quiet beep and goes to more frequent and louder beeps. It starts off inaudible and goes up to about the loudness of a typical alarm clock over the course of 1 minute. If that fails to wake you, it will be silent for 1 minute, then repeat the 1 minute on, 1 minute off cycle for 1 hour before giving up. The second cycle also starts quiet and builds over the minute. The increasing volume only applies to the buzzer; the radio volume is controlled only by the analog wheel on the side of the unit. - There is a nap feature on the unit that lets you set an alarm for 10-120 minutes from now in 10 minute increments. - There is a sleep timer feature that will shut off the radio after 15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. - When you set the alarm, you can chose between triggering every day, every weekday, every weekend day, or only once. The unit keeps track of the year, date, and time. It knows about the days of the week. You cannot set the alarm for any other collection of days, those are the only options, so if you want an alarm for M-W-F then you'll need to look elsewhere. - The display usually displays AM/PM HH:MM:ss, day of week, and which alarms are set. There is an icon for snooze active. The display shows band, frequency, and preset memory slot when radio is on for about 5 seconds then switches to time display as "HH:MM on". You hit a button to see year and hit again to see MM-DD. - The sound quality on the radio is good but not powerful. The audio starts clipping at around 1/2 volume on the knob which is a moderate volume (good in same room only, won't be able to blast your ears at all). - There is an AUX in socket on the radio. It is for playing only, not for alarm. - There is a headphone jack. When headphones are plugged in, the speaker is muted. - The battery backup is only good for keeping the time and settings for 10 minutes. - The display can be switched between 12 hour display and 24 hour display. - There are 5 preset stations per band. The are 2 bands: FM and AM. - The FM tuning step can be switched between 0.2MHz and 0.1MHz for the US version. - The AM tuning step is 9KHz for the US version from 520-1710KHz. - The power adapter is 120V/60Hz only for US version which converts to 6V/0.5A with a standard coax plug into the back of the unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The clock radio I have been waiting for
*by S***O on January 6, 2013*

This is the clock radio I've been waiting for. Pros: -Headphone jack. This is huge for me. I've been looking for this on a clock radio for many, many years. Prior to this clock radio, I had a 1980's boom box propped up next to the bed with an earphone bud so I could listen to the radio as I fell asleep without disturbing my wife. I had tried small portable radios, but they all used batteries only and were too easy to fling around while I was sleeping. This radio is stable enough that I haven't yanked it off the nightstand. -Digital tuning with presets. Another problem with the 1980's boom box was the manual tuner knob. Too much fiddling with it in the middle of the night and often unsure if I had landed on the right station. My previous clock radio did have presets and digital tuning but no headphone jack, so worthless. On this radio, I usually switch between one AM and one FM station overnight, so switching back and forth only means pressing the "band" button at the front right, which is easy to find at night. If I had to find the presets in the middle of the night, that might be trickier as they're in the middle of all the buttons, but I figure I could always apply some kind of raised stickers (like Braille) on those buttons to be able to find them. Also, concerning buttons, I have not had a problem accidentally hitting the nap button as some have mentioned. When I turn on the radio or turn off the alarm, it's been easy enough for me to locate that one in the dark as it's lighted red and is on the edge of all the buttons (back and on the right). -Variable display dimmer. My previous clock radio only had a high and low setting. High was a headlight, low was too dim. Problem solved. -Humane waking system. Love this. We gave away another clock radio that had only one setting - induce heart attack. I usually turn off the Sangean alarm at the very beginning when it's still very quiet, but I have been very tired some mornings and needed the extra graduated volume. I let it go to the loudest volume once and I found it to be loud enough for me. -Cost and size. Not too expensive I thought, and doesn't take up too much room on the nightstand. -Seconds display. When I look at the clock and it reads 5:59 am, I like to know if I have almost one minute to close my eyes or one second. My only complaint here is that when the radio is on (as mine is all night), "ON" is displayed instead of the seconds. A few minor complaints: -Yes, setting the alarm is tricky at first, but in a day I was used to it. To set the alarm time, press the "1" or "2" alarm button on the back briefly (at first, I kept making the mistake of holding it down for a few seconds, which turns the alarm on or off). This will display the current time set for the alarm. Once the alarm time is displayed (and it goes away in a few seconds if you don't do anything else), then press and hold the "set/display" button until the hours start flashing. Then use the tuning +/- buttons to change hours, hit "set/display" again, then the same +/- for minutes, days of the week, type of alarm. Then to turn on or off the alarms, you press and hold the "1" or 2" buttons. -Very loud beep when the alarm is turned on or off. OK, this is annoying if my wife has already fallen asleep and I forget to set the alarm. Same thing if I wake up before the alarm and want to turn it off before it goes off. This should be fixed. Either no beep or a very quiet one would be better. -The display changes to VERY bright whenever you do just about anything to the clock radio in the middle of the night (change the band, change the preset, turn the radio on or off). Again, this seems like it could and should be corrected. -Radio reception. Not a problem for me as the stations I listen to come in just fine, but one station I used to occasionally listen to (and used to be able to pick up) doesn't come in. I imagine it could be a problem for some. Despite the minor complaints, I'm still giving this clock/radio 5 stars.
