Sony ICF with weather station

This product is excellent. It will no longer work with TV channels due to the changeover of television to digital. But the weather stations are great. Easy to use if you have the instructions I got from the internet. This product is no longer made and this was a big mistake by SONY as they do so much. There are three alarm options with the ability to set three different times. The alarm clock can be easily switched off or reset. But what's really nice is the daytime nap feature, which doesn't affect alarm settings. It's nice to come in after the snow clearing and take a 10-90 minute nap to warm up and relax. I haven't tried the CD player yet, but I'm sure it works. Waiting for all these options to be combined into ONE clock/radio - sleep, sleep, alarm for any day of the week, CD player, weather station. My Phone even lets you set a different alarm for each day of the week, or any number of days, or any combination. When will the radio offer this option? The only downside: there is no backup battery, which makes it difficult to listen to the weather station in bad weather!

Pros
  • Headphone jack for connecting optional stereo headphones
Cons
  • Not sure
