Sangean's RCR-22 Clock Radio is the atomic clock radio you can set once and forget. It connects to the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado to set the most accurate time available. Once the clock is set you can program the dual alarms to wake to your favorite AM or FM station. Take advantage of the Humane Waking System that begins with a low volume beep and gradually increases in intensity to slowly wake you instead of receiving a firm jolt that others provide. There is also a handy sleep timer that allows you to fall asleep listening to your favorite radio station from 15 minutes up to 2 hours. With the Aux-input you can connect your iPod or a CD player to enjoy your favorite Soothing Sounds CD or digital music collection to fall asleep.

Summary: Does everything I need from my alarm clock
Comment: I have owned the RCR-22 for almost a year now. I wanted an alarm clock with the ability to choose which days the alarm would sound. I didn't want just weekdays or M, W, F. I am easily able to program it once and not have to worry about resetting it unless I need to change the time. It also displays the next alarm time and day so I can always check right before I go to bed if it is set correctly. I love not having to turn my alarm on and off like on older alarm clocks I've owned. Turning it off when I wake up just sets it up to go off for the next set day. It's great!! I haven't overslept yet!
I also like the sleep function that can be set for 60, 45, 30, or 15 minutes of radio to play while you fall asleep. Then it automatically shuts off. I just put it on talk radio and it puts me right to sleep.
I did not by this for sound quality, but I will admit it's mediocre at best when I've plugged my iPod in through the convenient Aux input.
It would be nice if it had the Human Waking System (HWS) for radio, too, not just buzzer mode, but not a big deal. It's all the same to me when I'm getting up at the crack of dawn!
I really like this product and don't see myself looking for a new alarm clock for a long time!

Summary: Atomic alarm clock radio
Comment: This atomic alarm clock radio is better than I thought it would be and then some. It is easy to set up and operate. I receved this just before we had to turn the clocks back (November 08) and I did not have to do a thing. It sounds great and it's the best alarm clock I've ever owned.

Summary: No sync, no sale
Comment: My whole motivation behind this was to get a clock radio that didn't have to be updated twice each year. I have an atomic clock and it works wonderfully, and I thought, "what a great idea for a clock radio!" So I got the RC-22 with high expectations. Unfortunately it couldn't pick up the atomic clock radio signal. I tried everything I could think of... putting it near windows, resetting it, and trying diffent orientations for the antenna bar. Nothing worked. It really surprised me because it had no problems with FM radio reception -- even a weak station that my old (and still in service) clock radio chokes on. Sent it back for a refund.

Summary: Close to perfect if only....
Comment: I bought this alarm clock mainly to let me have a clock radio that I could use the sleep function on and have input to my ipod. My alarm clock is a different radio.
I love it. The reception is great. If a few things were changed around it would be my only one.
I love the multiple alarm settings
I love that you can set the alarm to any digital station or input and it will use that rather than what you had on last.
I like the light setting that lights up when you touch it.
I wish:
I wish the volume for the alarm could be set different than what the sleep settings were on last. My Timex I have now for my alarm does do that. It has a sleep volume and the master volume.
I wish the numbers were bigger or better contrast so that I could see it more easily with my glasses off.
I wish it could charge my ipod as well as use the 3.5 cable so that I didn't have to have 2 cables.
I wish that I could use the headset function for sleep sound but tell it to use the regular speakers for the alarm.

Summary: Great clock & radio! Yes, it has a dimmable display!
Comment: I have had my Sangean RCR-22 for about 10 months now and I absolutely love it! I took a long while to choose a replacement for my Oregon Scientific Atomic Radio Alarm Clock (which I would rate mediocre) because I wanted to make sure I didn't repeat the same mistakes that I made buying that one (bad radio and BRIGHT display).
The Sangean has so many features that I like, for instance, two alarms, excellent digital radio reception, great speaker, 7 programmable preset radio station buttons, & more.
The feature that I want to address most, because I think it has caused many reviewers to unfairly criticize the clock, is the brightness of the display. This is a highly important feature of a radio alarm clock since most people will have it on their nightstand and don't want a bright light keeping them awake. I think that a lot of reviewers were unfamiliar with how the brightness modes work & thus were disappointed.
There are two brightness modes for the display: Maximum bright, and dimmable. Maximum bright is obviously the highest setting and is clearly visible and legible 20 feet away in daylight. In the dimmable mode you control the brightness using the knob on the bottom of the clock. The knob is kind of fiddly (small, recessed, and stiff) so it's not something that you want to mess with on a daily basis. Anyway, you use the knob (easiest with a small screwdriver) to set the display brightness to what you are comfortable with at night (I have mine set all the way off). On the front of the clock (on the bottom right) there is a button to switch between the two brightness modes. At night I just press the button once to put the display into the dimmable mode which essentially turns the display off. If I wake up in the middle of the night I just find the button, press it to see the time, & then press it again to dim the display. Finding the button is easy due to the side posts & I know it is on the bottom right. In the morning when the alarm goes off, the display switches to bright mode so the time is then visible during the day.
This is definitely the best atomic radio alarm clock that I have owned (it's my third one so far) and well worth the price.
