Default Tuner memory

After decorating the lounge I have reconstructed my hi-fi stack and
rewired it so that the only item with permanent mains is the VCR -
everything else goes through am electronic switch.

I have now discovered that my Kenwood KT2060L tuner clearly has only a
capacitor to back up the memory - it does not have a battery or use
E2PROM - so when the mains has been off for a day or less it forgets.

I have been thinking of replacing it for some time, possibly with a
Denon TU260LII,


Used quite a lot of these for off-air monitoring and such and never had a
problem with them at all.. Ever)

They aren't made anymore but you can find them on e-bay with no bother...


but it would be no good if it suffers the same
problem.

Anyone know of any three-band RDS tuners that don't forget when the
mains has been off for a while? Philips tuners of yore always used
E2PROM, so I guess it may follow that Marantz do too.
