Question is about a Kyocera R-851 receiver, ca. 1985, 85
w./channel. Unit is in fine condition (many capacitators have been
replaced) except for one thing: it doesn't remember radio stations.


This receiver has 7 "presets" each for AM and FM. These can be set,
and the unit will remember them so long as the power is on. Leave
it overnight and the settings are gone.

I'm ASSuming that these are stored in memory that may have battery
backing. Opening the unit reveals no such battery/cell.

Does anyone know enough about this unit to tell me what the likely
culprit is here? Any links to schematics?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well that's why, the battery is missing!

D'oh! I knew it.

Alright, now, any *serious* answers?
