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.

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.

 Atomic alarm clock radio December 2, 2008
Leroy Webb (Kenosha, WI)
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.
 No sync, no sale November 30, 2008

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.
 Close to perfect if only.... November 2, 2008

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. br / br /I love it. The reception is great. If a few things were changed around it would be my only one. br / br /I love the multiple alarm settings br /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. br /I like the light setting that lights up when you touch it. br / br /I wish: br /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. br / br /I wish the numbers were bigger or better contrast so that I could see it more easily with my glasses off. br / br /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. br / br /I wish that I could use the headset function for sleep sound but tell it to use the regular speakers for the alarm.
Great clock radio! Yes, it has a dimmable display! October 9, 2008

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). br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /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.
very disappointed in quality control September 21, 2008

[ASIN:B000QUGKRQ Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio]] br /I'm on my second RCR-22 and still don't have one that works properly. The first unit's atomic clock set nicely but the time zone switch didn't work. The clock would stay set to MST no matter which time zone was selected or DST switched on and off and since I live on the East coast this was a 2 hour deal breaker. [Customer service at Sangean was incredibly slow to respond to my questions and ultimately didn't have any solutions other than to send it back for replacement.] Amazon was great about sending a replacement but the the second unit is fatally flawed too. The clock on the second unit works great as does the radio on both AM and FM. Now the problem is the alarm functions - they worked fine on the first unit in both buzzer and radio mode but don't work at all on this one. The buzzer alarm's only output is quiet static that the underside volume control doesn't change. Setting the alarm to an AM or FM station and day(s) to activate is easy, the alarm activates at the right time and day but the radio doesn't turn on. After 2 duds in a row I'm giving up on Sangean!!
