Yes, but thanks, I had already seen those two when I went into Jaycar.
But they do not have presettable buttons for each station which I want
And they have a clock and alarm system which I do not want!

1457938 2019-02-24 00:25:00 You're probably going to find it pretty hard to get one that has button presets but no clock, unless get an old car radio with mechanical presets....

It sounds like you already have a radio that works - you just need to actually read the manual and find how to disable the sleep timer!

If you don't like the clock or alarm, just don't use it...

In that case, you may need to shell out more cash and get one of these -

www.jaycar.co.nz - 500 presets

www.jaycar.co.nz - 1000 presets

1457940 2019-02-24 03:06:00 I don't think either of those would be suitable Digby. I have the AR1745 which is similar to those and would not meet your requirements. Pato (2463)
1457941 2019-02-26 19:15:00 Yes @Pato, I think both of those have clocks and alarms etc.

I finally found one

www.noelleeming.co.nz

Its the JBL Tuner.
I bought one yesterday and like it very much so far.
Its small, battery or mains.
It has quite a good sound and volume for its size.
It has a digital display of the station (with name)
It has 5 FM preset buttons!
It has Bluetooth so you can connect your mobile phone etc.
I think it also has Digital Radio.
It does not have a clock or alarm! Yeah!
It does not have a USB port.
But it does have an aux port
It is a bit more than I wanted to pay $120.
But Noel Leeming have them on special now for two weeks!.

I seen plenty of them, including Sony at Cash Converters. I bought the fuse brand bluetooth speaker for 15 dollars, of which the AUX cord acts as the FM stereo aerial. Note you might be able to "add" more stations and Podcasts by transmitting through the NZ Rova App (and possibly others) from a smartphone...
