Mike, I was hoping when I changed my battery on my 14 RTS it would clear my radio setting because they were all screwed up. Well, it didn't help one bit. I don't know what happened but it didn't work. The battery was out for one entire day. Finless tried to explain to me how to clear the presets but I still couldn't figure it out.

While it's a mite of a PITA you clear the preset stations by overwriting them.

.... I don't use pre-sets, so I can't help ....... when I said " RADIO " I was referring to things like - balance - fade - vol. control etc. .... Mike

Thank you JayBros I will try that. It's not been a common subject discussed on this forum.

IIRC, one way is to go into preferences and set the audio region to something other than US. Then tune the radio to a frequency that is nothing but static, overwrite each preset, and return region back to 1. I don't know if the presets will then all be silent or static.
