Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for people who live in areas with unpredictable weather, this GPX clock radio combines a CD player with an AM/FM/weatherband radio that receives climate updates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Thanks to the weatherband receiver, users can learn the weather conditions as soon as they open their eyes, letting them plan around sudden snowstorms and suffocating heat waves. Listeners can also set the alarm to sound to a CD, CD-R, or CD-RW--putting favorite albums or custom compilations on the wake-up menu--or to old standbys NPR and talk radio news via the AM/FM radio. Plus, because of the pair of stereo speakers and full feature set, the CRCD6805DT makes a good choice for offices, garages, and other locations that need a solid background music machine. The radio even includes a TV band audio receiver for channels 2 to 13 should people want to listen to Today or Good Morning America.

The CD player's most notable functions include track programming, repeat and random play, and the skip/search buttons, all of which make it easy to find specific tracks and play them in non-sequential order. Couples will also welcome the dual alarm function, which sounds two different alarms each morning so individual users can wake up on their own schedules. In addition, forgetful sleepers can activate the next day's alarm immediately after getting up using the 24-hour set-and-forget feature. Set-and-forget is a nice option for people who want to drift off to sleep in the evening without thinking about their morning rituals. And unlike many clock radios, the CRCD6805DT doesn't skimp on audio performance, as the pair of speakers deliver genuine stereo sound rather than a mono offering. Additional features include an easy-to-read blue backlit LCD display, a prominently located snooze bar, a 59-minute adjustable sleep timer, and a battery backup that remembers time and alarm information after a power failure (requires a single 9-volt battery).
