And the snooze button works only a handful of times, so especially drowsy users might find themselves late for work until they acclimate. But it's a 12-hour system, so it'll activate twice a day unless you cycle it fully off in the morning, then back on again just before bedtime. Setting the alarm (you can wake to standard beeps or to your favorite station) is simple enough-just rotate the indicator on the clock's bezel to the wake-up time and press a button to activate the alarm. The clock itself is fine, but the analog alarm leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you're used to a digital system. While the Model Three is a great AM/FM radio, it has one big flaw: the alarm clock. There's also a matching compact subwoofer, the diminutive Model Subwoofer, to extend the bass response. If you just want stereo and don't need the second clock/alarm, Tivoli offers the Companion Speaker ($49). Spring for another $99, and you can get Tivoli's matching Dual Alarm Speaker ($99) that gives you stereo sound, as well as a second clock/alarm. Start your morning with local news by using this GPX alarm clock radio.
