Digital radios won't work here. They all afaik have a separate
momentary-on on/off switch.

Having a momentary switch is not the problem, it's that without power it
forgets the setting of that electronic switch.

The "digital" radios in this house all have a battery in them to
maintain the settings, but can not be set to start up on power-on. Two
DO have an "alarm" setting that will turn the radio on at a set time.
If you use a timer to turn the radio off and on you need to make sure
the timer comes on before the alarm time. The battery also keeps the
realtime clock running with the power off.

To OP:

Get a C Crane radio. IIRC it is a digital AM/FM/Shortwave and has a timer.
I would post a link but since it is Micky I will let him find it himself if
he has finally learned to use a computer and search engine. HRO has it.
