Paul,
It may be overkill for your needs, or perhaps too expensive, but the
Bose wave radio can be easily switched to 24 hour time; the one I have
is running on it right now. It's a simple matter of holding down the
Alarm Setup button and hitting the on/off switch, and it's quite clearly
documented in the instructions as well.
I received mine as a gift, but if you look online or on eBay, you may be
able to find one for far, far less than the price Bose charges for them.
Monetary cost aside, it's a fantastic alarm clock. It has separate
alarm profiles so that I can set one alarm for myself, and a later one
for my girlfriend (or a second as a reminder in case you snooze too
long), the volume slowly ramps up over the course of 60 seconds so that
you're not jarred awake, and the remote is top notch. I've been
absolutely thrilled with mine for years now.
Cheers,
Mike

I am STILL searching for a bedside digital alarm clock/radio that reads out in
24-hour time and runs on U.S. current. Every time I shop for one, I find it has
an AM or PM indicator on it and reads out only in the range 01:00 to 12:59.
I succeeded in getting battery-powered clocks that display 24-hour time, and
apparently, most wristwatches are switchable to it. My microwave oven is
switchable to it. But not the Sony Dream Machine type clock radio or any of its
fellows.
Quoting "H. Maenen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The metric clock is impossible and it would indeed create mayhem with SI;
let's get rid of AM/PM time instead, even that is a laborious uphill battle
against a lot of resistance. The metric clock was attempted during the French
Revolution but then abandoned as it was totally impractical. The same
happened with the decimal Revolutionary Calendar.

Dear All,
The idea of decimal time constantly re-occurs. Here is the latest
incarnation.
