Huh? Are you saying it is normal to reprogram all the memories every 3

It's quite possible, even likely, if the tuner is not turned on during
that
time. Depends on how the power switch works, but consider this:

If the internal power is on all the time, then it couldn't lose the
memory
at all, the only backup needed would be in the event of momentary power
glitches.

I hope this is not the case and there is a provision to keep the memory
powered independent of the power switch state.

The pages I quoted from the manual are all Carver has to say on the subject.
Personally, I usually leave the tuner on (it is the equivalent of a 15watt
light bulb I believe), so in 20 years of using the TX-11 I've lost memory
exactly once.

I've never opened mine, but their is no external hatch for a battery, and
from the description it doesn't sound like a battery but rather some form of
trickle-charged memory.

I wouldn't have a go to pieces over it. It is one of the best sounding
tuners ever made. Enjoy!
