The RP3711 includes a digital AM/FM stereo tuner, programmable snooze and sleep functions, and a nap function for afternoon dozing. The Graduwake system slowly increases the volume of the alarm so you gently awaken, rather than being jolted up. A battery backup keeps your alarm set even through power outages.

I don't know who decided that the best amount of snooze time is 9 minutes which is the standard on almost every other clock I know of. This clock lets you set the snooze time to what YOU want. It has digital tuning that lets you find the station you want quickly and accurately. No more fiddling around trying to find that sweet spot. The digital tuner also lets you go to sleep to one station and wake up to another! (I only wish you could set the volume differently for sleep and wake. Unfortunately that's not possible.) Another nice feature is that the sleep button holds the last setting. Most clocks set themselves for one hour as soon as you hit the button so if you set it for twenty minutes and then accidentally hit the sleep button again, you have the reset it for twenty minutes. On THIS clock it holds that twenty minute setting until you change it. It also lets you move...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: RCA RP3711 Digital Clock Radio (Electronics) This clock was a gift two years ago---almost three---and I was a little ambivalent about receiving an alarm clock for Christmas. I don't even work outside the home!But, I'm a true fan of this clock. I have a hard time seeing blue or green digital clocks. The red LED numbers are large and visible even in the bright Arizona daylight. The snooze button is right in the front, which I like. The alarm sets both forward _and_ backward (instead of having to go through the whole cycle again if you missed). It has a digital timer with memory settings (I've not used that feature much; I'm a one-station kind of gal). Even with my glasses off, in the middle of the night, I can roll over and easily see the time---yet the clock isn't so bright it keeps me awake (like my husband's current clock does!). I have two complaints, one minor(!) and one major(!). The minor one: the buttons on top have little recesses around them, which collect the dust from our dust storms---I would like to see...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By "bark3times" (Thomaston, CT USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: RCA RP3711 Digital Clock Radio (Electronics) This is the best & easiest to use clock radio I have ever owned. It has a big snooze button, but most of all, it has a great seperate nap feature that you can set up to 2 hours & it doesn't interfere with the alarm setting. The setting buttons are so simple you can do it in your sleep, well, literally half asleep. Of course, it has a battery back-up & the numbers are huge so you can see them even blurry eyed in the middle of the night. I highly recommend this great clock. I liked it so much that bought two of them, just in case........ |
