I back up the Sharp talking time one (original) with a remote trigger plug on the end) with a radio in the next room turned up loud.  

Emerson advertised a  year ago a smart clock (non talking) which wold  automatically stay updated with WWVB   I was intrigued as you could set dual alarms for his and hers for example and also have different alarms for different days of the week as well.    I sure liked this idea as it was pretty much a set (possibly difficult the first time) and forget item which cold save me as I forget to reset if I am out of the  routine for some reason.  Too bad this one did not talk, as than would be ideal.

thank you!
