The clock portion

I bought this item last week. The radio is very nice, but I don't think the clock is worth the extra expense. It is very limited. The alarm setting is only accurate to within +- 5 min. If the alarm is set you can't play the radio unless you activate the 20 min countdown timer, then it shuts off after 20 min. So you have to remember to turn the alarm on every night if you listen to the radio much. The hour hand on the clock is too long, it's easy to mix it up with the minute hand in the middle of the night. The snooze button only works one time and if you don't hold it down long enough the alarm shuts off. You push the snooze button once to turn off the alarm, you push it and hold it a little bit to activate the snooze. I really like the radio, but as a clock radio it is not up to par.
