Is it just me being dense on this or did others have problems when attempting to program specific stations onto their radio? The steps specified in the Becker manual I downloaded are not working and for the life of me it has yet to become apparent, no matter how many buttons I push.

What gives? :(

I don't have the downloaded manual, so can't comment on its instructions.

My original equip manual says simply, "hold down the multifunction button (that's the station select buttons) for 2-4 seconds ...." to store a selected station.

So, just tune a station you like, then select which button you wish to match to it (1 through 0), and hold that selected button in for a few seconds. After that, pushing that same button should retrieve that station.

There must be something wrong with my radio then because I've tried that very thing a few tens of times but it won't program. How simple can this task be, but then again maybe not if something is malfunctioning :censored:

I'll call Becker I guess, thanks Kim!

According to Becker tec support their directions are right in that after selecting a radio station one must hold the particular program button in, and hold it in even if/when in doing so the station still reverts to the original setting the next few secs.

Wouldn't it be more intuitive if it didn't return to the undesired "old" station before the new station is stored? Just like all other radios I've used so far? User friendliness comes to mind, and standardization, but what do I know!

Thanks,

it works. as said.

1. search for the channle you want to set.

2. press the small key, the org. setting station will come on for a few second.(VERY bad design), don't release the button, after a few seconds, you will hear a beep. station is set.

Indeed a bad design, thanks for verifying.
