Roberts RCS80 - how do I store stations? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi all
I Picked up a tidy Roberts RCS80 radio at a local car boot. It uses synthesised tuning so all stations stored electronically. I've put new batteries in and all seems to be working - very good sound quality too. However, I cannot fathom out how to store a station once I've found one after doing a search (Tune up/tune down buttons). I don't have an instruction book and can't find anything on the web.
Does anyone have one of these and can tell me how it's done? It's driving me mad!
Many thanks
Rich

With most radios of this type you press and hold the memory button for a couple of seconds.

I've just dug out my copy of the manual...

Having tuned to the station you want, you press MEMORY followed by the desired number key.

After pressing MEMORY, the "ME" symbol should light up on the display. If you don't see that, it's possible the MEMORY button is not working.
