Unfortunately, the clock has a very low radio-sensitivity. Although reception is reasonably possible here in Northern Germany; Therefore the device must also be precisely aligned in the direction of the transmitter in Frankfurt. But even then, it can take hours until the setting is done. I had taken the alarm to southern Sweden; here at all no signal has been received. Even reception attempts in the open air were negative. The fact that the clock also can be adjusted manually, although is helpful, but can not justify the sale as a radio alarm clock. The use of "brand new" battery does not disappear the problem. From this point, unfortunately, a bad buy !!!
