Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The GPX D517 jumbo readout digital dual-alarm clock radio has a 1.8-inch red LCD designed to add visibility in low-light conditions. This is especially useful if you prefer a larger-than-normal illuminated time display. The GPX D517's dual-alarm system allows the alarm to go off at two separate times of the day. The alarm can be set to activate either the radio or a buzzer. The clock radio measures 5 by 8 inches and comes with a limited 90-day manufacturer's warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice display, but terrible radio, September 9, 1999

Quite near-sighted, I enjoy the large display especially at night when not wearing my glasses. However, the radio reception stinks on this unit. It can't pick up local stations that I used to get on the 10 year clock I had previously.

3.0 out of 5 stars RUNAWAY CLOCK, March 21, 2000

What do you do with a clock that keeps advancing one minute each second? That's what happens when I use the "sleep" feature. Then, to correct the time, you have to press the time button through 24 hours...and if you over-correct...OOPS...press another 24 hours. There is no backward time adjustment. It's not cost-effective to send it back for replacement...so I just cannot use the "sleep" feature. Otherwise, the large display is great for us myopics. The radio is very adequate, and the alarm is LOUD! I like the radio...I just wish I was able to fall asleep to music.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a clock, January 11, 2000

The display on this thing is great, very clear and large enough to see from anywhere. The radio isn't the best but big deal it's a clock radio! The alarm buttons are more difficult to get to than on an average alarm clock making it an effectie wake up system seeing as it's difficult to turn the alarm off when you're drowsy. As an alarm clock it works great.
