I need an analog radio that can be controlled using an on/off timer. Is the power switch a mechanical power so it comes back when power is restored ?

The answer is yes. There's a master power switch on the back. Just do a Google image search to see for yourself. But, just to clarify your question. You want to leave the radio on and have a timer in the power outlet so that the radio turns on and off according to the timer, right?

Yes you can. This is not a touch sensitive, rather a real mechanical on/off switch. It will go on with a timer.

No, this is just a delay (timer) relay. You need 12v DC program-able digital timer. See amazon link for example part that can do what you want it to do for you.uxcell DC 12V Digital LCD Power Programmable Timer Time Switch Relay 10A

It is like all mechanical timers... You have to set the time by rotating the dial. If there is a power outage the dial will stop rotating for the duration of the outage and automatically resume rotation when power is restored. The time will not correct itself when the power is resumed. You must manually rotate the dial again until the correct time is set. I used these for heat tape switches so I didn't break the bank with my power bill and have to remember to reset the time after a power outage, otherwise the heat tape will come on at the wrong time.

Yes, there is a power switch. It's the round knob on the lower back. rotating it clockwise increases power level. Rotating counterclockwise reduces power until the barely visible arrow points to "qtr", or 1/4 power. If you continue rotating the knob counterclockwise until it clicks, power is off.

This switch only allows power in a momentary press. Not an off/on switch. Only when pressed.

Yes, it has a switch that can be used to power it on or off. It connects immediately when you switch from the off position to the on.

There is a small sliding button on the face of the timer. The choices are "on" and "timer" Move the button to "timer" and the timer will be activated. The "on" position will give continuous power instead of off an on timer power.

No, this is a strictly mechanical switch, you need to manually reset timer after power failure. I have been using this combination of timer and electric water heater for close to 30 years and believe it is even superior to the current fad of "on-demand" heaters.

No, the unit does not turn itself back on - you have to press the power button. The frequencies are saved when power is turned off, both the current frequency and the ones stored in memory.By the way, to set a memory without using the remote control:- Tune to the station you want to store.- Tap the menu button until MEMORY appears.- Tap the enter button.- Press the desired memory button.

No, you can still turn it on manually. The programming will resume. We really liked these!

No, if you disconnect power you must manually turn it on. Cannot use it with an external timer.

Yes, it will return to it's last mode. RFI might be a problem if it's used close to an AM radio. A capacitor on the output might be helpful. Other than that, it works really nice.

Yes, and I was wrong about the functionality. All I had to do was press the analog button in the center. I came upon it, though. There are no instructions or any resources of any kind to be found

the power light comes on when there is re-engaged power. The settings won't be re-iniated though. You have to manually slam the thing against the wall and call it a day. Its a one hit wonder, and I hit it once and wondered why I bought the dern thing! :)

Our power went out for an hour last week. The timer did not have to be reset after the power came back on. Also, I found it easier to program the timer if I plug it into an extension cord to program it, and you can disconnect it to plug it in directly to the power receptacle on the wall without losing the programming (if it is fully charged).

If you turn the vehicle off while the radio is on, when you come back and start the vehicle again the radio will immediately come back on. You do not have to power it on.

You can either operate it on battery power or buy one of the voltage reducing cords. I found one that I had in my junk box or go to Radio/Shack buy one, they should have one.
