So this is the new clock I bought to replace the one that just died, out of the blue. Hopefully I get more than about two years worth of use out of it. But here's the thing. This ICF-C414 was really the only halfway decent clock I could get unless I wanted an analog clock. Everything else had no radio, and was just really cheap-looking and didn't have the features I was looking for, IE: -Dual-alarms -Battery-backup (that's right, some of them didn't even have the accommodations for a backup battery) -A large, easily readable display -A radio It's just unfortunate that this is the path clocks have taken... Nevertheless, for 30 bucks, this seems like a pretty sweet deal. Not only does it meet all of my wants, but it has a few nice features, such as automatic DST settings, time zones, and adjustable brightness to name a few. The only downside is the fact that the AC power cord is the FM antenna, which isn't very useful.
