Most of the time, I use three stations, one the largest local NPR affiliate, one a classical music station, and one a local news radio for when I need traffic fastest.
When power goes out (or a system unplugged, or the car battery dead or disconnected), there is supposed to be a local battery that holds the station presets. Invariably, instead, only two the the three are recalled - I have to manually re-set one of the stations. It mystifies me, since storing two of the three means some sort of memory was working, but it NEVER stores that third station.
It's hit me a couple of time this week, because I was painting and needed to unplug the stereo.....

I have a bedside radio with similar behaviour. In my case it gets befuddled betwixt Classical and Grandstand (Sport). If I press the button for one I often get the other but then again I might not. Solution is to 'reboot', select another preset, and then try Classical or Grandstand again, and sometimes again and again. It's annoying, but not enough to make me want to shell out for a replacement.
