The power failure protection (I believe it's a large capacitor) is outstanding
-
I purchased this model so that I would not have to reset the clock every time there was a power failure -- all I do is hold a button down to reset -- its great.
-
It even sets time after a power failure
-
; I wanted a power failure backup system so that it wouldn't lose time; I wanted a true atomic clock that synchronized with the US cesium clock in Colorado; I wanted a well-designed and well-made unit that was user-friendly and would last a long time

Wish it has a power failure batter back-up.
-
Easy enough, except that the RCR-22 has a completely inadequate internal battery backup; any power failure that lasts more than 30 minutes or so will eliminate all the internal settings, including the time.
-
However, a battery backup will hold the time for up to a year AND still be able to sound the buzzer alarm during a power failure.
-
I am aware that it has a super capacitor which will hold the time for up to an hour in the event of a power failure.

I have had a few power failures and haven't lost a thing

This little clock/radio has everything you would want - except a back-up battery supply in case of power failure.
-
I'd rate this the biggest drawback to this radio -- especially for those relying on it to get out of bed in the morning ;o{
-
Controls not as intuitive as I would like.
-
The radio works as it should and we have figured out most of the features

If you hit the snooze button, the light fades back down, then gradually brightens as it comes on again
