What better way is there to start a fresh new day then by waking up with the sounds of police chatter and reports of the latest crimes happening in your city?
From Hammacher Schlemmer comes the Police Scanner Alarm Clock. It’s pretty basic in terms of the alarm side of things though it will automatically sync the clock with a signal from the National Institute of Standards and Time ensuring atomic-accurate timekeeping. However it’s the radio side that makes this alarm clock stand out. In addition to AM & FM radio, VHF TV and of course the NOAA’s weather stations it also provides 300 scanning channels that can access amateur radio, aircraft chatter, traffic info, emergency weather reports and of course police channels when you need some real inspiration to get out of bed in the morning.
The Police Scanner Alarm Clock is available now on the Hammacher Schlemmer website for $199.95.
Cool idea. Not worth $200, but a cool idea.
