Is this battery powered? Or rechargeable? Or both? Is the adapter for the option of recharging? I want to use batteries primarily

The adapter is for running from an AC adapter - it does not recharge batteries in the radio. Batteries last quite a while. I use the radio about 30-40 minutes a day, radio 80-90%, the rest bluetooth. With that usage pattern, D cells last for months. Around the holidays I switched to rechargeable AA Sanyo Eneloops with D spacers, they last about 4-6 weeks between recharges, so that's a reasonable option if you'd prefer to recharge.

Does this have an antenna for better radio reception?

Yes, there is an antenna. It's not the "telescope" kind, but a plastic-coated wire coiled up next to the battery compartment that you can unwind and hang out the back (there's a special hole for it). It will improve reception if it's not good enough without.

Does the clock display while listening to the radio? I like to listen to music, but also make sure that I'm not in the shower to long!

Shows time, but LCD contrast is disappointing with or without backlight. When my digital watches or weather stations get that dim i know it's time to replace the battery. But my H202 has new batts and shows full charge on the display. Unfortunate, it's a great radio otherwise.

Are the batteries rechargeable? I'd like a good portable that can be used in the shower, with rechargeable batteries and option for AC/DC hookup.

Batteries are not rechargeable, but the D batteries in the radio last a long long time. Also, there is an AC/DC hookup for the radio. When you plug this in the batteries are disconnected. This AC adapter is on sale here for $9.63 right now!
