I`m finding that when and where I`ll be able to bump start plays a part in when I EOC (or when I light the engine again).

I have an odd electrical issue with key starts, too- about one in three times that I key start, I lose my radio station. It happens whether I`m starting from being parked or just from waiting on a red light, and it`s a bummer because my radio doesen`t hold presets, and the frequency display no longer reads, so I sometimes I can`t find my station again before the next time I lose the radio! Maybe I should check the junk yards for one of the old style with a dial that doesn`t care if it loses power. What`s a UG? Is there a non-digital, non solid state version?
