Sure it sounds nice, but why after spending $350 on a RADIO, to only include a flimsy remote controller the size of a credit card with no controls on the unit itself is a big miss. Right now, I've lost my remote, not hard to do since it's miniscule and I cant use the radio. Problem, well my alarm is set, so it does go off at 6:45 am, but in order to turn it off, I need to get out of bed and unplug the unit. Also, there are only 6 pre-sets, why when most cheap radios give you 8 or 12? The reception is only mediocre, I'm constantly adjusting the placement in order to optimize reception and no, I'm NOT spending extra for an antenna.All this for $350. I could have gone to radio shack to get one for $10...avoid..
