My old clock radio has mechanical tuner, so if I change the back-up battery in it, it doesn't loose station setting. Are there modern radios that can hold the settings when the back-up battery is changed?

(The only thing I don't like about the old radio is that it has a slight AC hum, even when turned off.)

Are you looking for one that has pre-sets? All the ones I have don't have pre-sets and still have a mechanical tuner(and volume control) with a digital readout. So changing the battery has no effect on the tuner or volume control. Plus, I really don't know how it works, but they remember the time as well. maybe a capacitor or something like that.

Change the battery with the radio plugged in.
