T&T: Emerson SmartSet Alarms

[Frank Burrows]

A couple of years ago there was a big discussion about digital clocks that 
were not dependent on the frequency of the generator or inverter to keep 
accurate time. About a month ago I bought a Emerson SmartSet clock radio at 
Target for under $20. This series of clock radios uses a 5 year lithium 
battery and a computer chip to calculate the correct time. It is not 
dependent on the frequency to show the correct time. The battery operates 
the clock and the alarm and the display and radio are 115 volt AC.

The clock keeps perfect time and is not bothered by switching to a Freedom 
2500 or the generator. If you change the default time zone or reset the 
clock to a different time the device retains this information in the event 
of a power outage. These radios are also available through amazon.com.
