If the CC Radio-2E is plugged into a simple timer can the radio wake you in the morning? This is not prime reason I'd buy radio but nice feature.

This radio was purchased as a gift, so I am sorry I cannot answer this question. I hope someone else can. Good luck!

I have never tried to use the radio in this manner. Better try it before relying on it some morning!

Living out in the far North of Alaska I have no electricity and the CC Radio-2E not only brings in the distant signals but is my (only) alarm clock! Some pictures on my blog at http://kl1hbalaska.wordpress.com

The radio has the alarm feature built in so that the station you want will come on at the time you set it to. You do not need a timer.

I don't know for sure. But the power switch is a button style that may only make momentary contact. With batteries or AC it turns ON of course. I'm not convinced you could press the power switch with the radio connected to a deenergized timer circuit and expect the radio to switch to ON hours later when the timer actuates. I would certainly experiment before relying on it.

The radio has both a sleep timer and an alarm (wake to radio) already built in, so no need for external timing device.

While I haven't tried it yet, the instructions state that the alarm can be set to awake with radio.

Yes, it does have a sleep funtion w 2 alarms and a snooze button. It's really a nice, solid radio.

No. It has a low or high setting. You would have to put it on a timer to have it turn on as you wake up and then it would be at low or high. I hope this helps.

I do not use the shortwave radio as an alarm clock. The transformer tends to get hot . I would not leave it on all the time And besides the clocks are an additional feature . I would buy a travel alarm ..

Remove the face and press the small "reset" button you find behind the face on the radio and the radio will wake up. It happens only occasionally that the radio "goes to sleep" like that.

If you are a lite sleeper it will wake you up. If you need a loud buzzer, do not get this radio. I got this to wake up my teenage son and it does not wake him up.

I do not believe so. I found the programing for wake, leave, return, and sleep were easy to set. Hope that helps.

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

You have to actually set it at the time that you want it to wake up. It tells you that in the instructions.

I'mSorry I can't answer your question........ I have never used this feature on the radio.

Yes. And you can also set a sleep timer I believe. Night time is the right time for listening to shortwave. Have fun and play around withh it a bit. I love my PL-380:-)

yes but it takes practice - - the 5 sleep settings scroll by when activated, and the last setting used is the first to appear - - to activate, you press and hold the on/off button - - you then hear two very faint "clicks" a microsecond apart -- the first click indicates the process has started, the second click indicates the first timer setting has appeared and it will be the last setting used - - you immediately release the on/off button at that instant and you have set the timer for that setting -- but if you want a different timer setting from the last setting, you have to look at the screen to see when that setting appears so that you will know when to release the button -- I do not find this procedure to be a problem, since I always use the same setting as the last time, so I know to release the button instantly on the second click and I will have the setting I want. This CC radio is great for my nighttime usage, it has all the features that I would want in a pocket radio.

Well, I am sad to say, no, no, no and no. This radio is very basic, no frills. The tuner is analog, the readout is digital. You have to move the tuner back and forth to "center" on the desired stations. The backlit is only on for a preset number of seconds. There is no alarm function with the clock feature. I am old school so it is all I wanted. I am not into features that others consider as necessary.

I don't know how to answer this Question but if i set both alarms they both go off and the radio plays for an hour and then turns off but the alarm is still fine for the next day.

It is just a timer alarm like for cooking. Its bassicly to keep you awake while driving (even tho they tell you not to use it while drowsy) or as a reminder alarm. It just puts out a loud beeping noise when it goes off. Although I never really use it and to me it is pointless the radio is a great radio and worth the money. The radio is also great for people that like the classic CB radio feel. It is much easier to use a digital radio but this one gives a more classic feel.

You can connect to a timer I believe. In the winter months I use it every day but I get up and have it with my coffee and breakfast while I watch the morning news. You really should have your eyes open when using it for the full benefit. It's a really nice product despite it's not being an alarm clock. I think if you spend a lot more you might be able to buy one that operates on a schedule. But for the money I feel this light was an investment that has paid for itself in energy and mood dividends for me.

Sorry but I can't help you with information about the alarm. I am retired and do not need the help of an alarm anymore. The instructions say that you can wake to the radio, buzzer or CD. You can set the alarm for two separate times as well.
