neat RS clock/calculator with 4 alarms that came out early 1980s

[joe]

The neatest little clock that I purchased from Radio Shack was this clock
with
4 seperate alarms and belive it was a 24 hr clock.  I was r/o on a ship
named the Santa Mariana and could set it u p for various wx press , etc
skeds left it on the ship and never could get it back. Remember this one??,
And I would buy another one today if I could find one.
