GREAT clock radio

My old GE AM/FM/cassette clock radio finally died so looked online and in stores for a replacement without much luck. I had only 3 requirements: dual alarm, battery back-up and CD player (I have a Toshiba Gigabeat mp3 player so an ipod dock is useless to me). Most clock radios that met my needs cost $100 or more or were flea market brands that I knew nothing about. Then I found the Emerson Research CKD5811. This thing is damn near perfect! Not only does it have dual alarms, you can set each one for weekdays only, weekends only or everyday. And it also has a nap timer. Not only does it have battery back-up, it has a pre-installed lithium battery for the SmartSet time/date/day of the week functions and a 9 volt battery connection for the radio/buzzer/CD functions. Not only does it have a CD player, it plays CD-R/RWs and it actually sounds pretty good. You won't mistake it for an expensive home audio system, but for a clock radio, it's not bad at all. And on top of all that, it only costs  more

Lots of Options - Poor FM reception

I bought this clock radio as a replacement. It works well with many options. The CD capability has good sound. But the antennas for the radio perform poorly and I can get very few clear stations.
