Query: useless

I've had this radio for a while. radio is too hard to program and it has to be reset every time you change battries etc. The way it "works" (and I use that term loosely), I can't tell if the various alarms are on or off.Further, even in downtown Stamford CT, the radio has major reception problems. It is therefore useless.Unfortuantely, the other SAME radios seem about as bad.
