I like to listen to my current clock radio when I get

I hit the sleep timer button and turn lights off an

Does anyone make a good SW radio that has a sleep timer
in it but also has say a infrared remote control as
well so I can change "freqs" while in bed?
AOR-7030

It also has a timer. As the manual says, it makes an expensive clock
radio.

Note that the AR7030 has two IR sensors on it. To operate mine
outdoors, I had to put electrical tape over the one on the back. I
discovered this problem in the field when the radio controls would not
react properly.
IR sensors have trouble with the Sun (and fluorescents).
