It is refreshing to see that other people have problems with clock radios too!
Thinking a good brand name might make a difference, I bought a Sony clock 
radio, duty-free for $70 a couple of years ago and it doesn't even have the 
extra features you mention of your new $59 one.  The volume control is so 
touchy, it is either non-audible or louder than required to regain 
consciousness in the morning!  I won't mention how loud the buzzer 
is (no volume control on this)....suffice to say it never gets set, else I 
bolt upright in mortal fear at 6.00am, nothing like a headache to start the 
day!
