I don't think it has, as there's no mention of it in the manual. I
don't use the sleep function on my other radios, anyway, so it doesn't
bother me.

The battery is cr*p, anyway.

Thank you, that clinches that decision :))  The more I thought about it, 
the more I could not think of anywhere which was too far away from an 
electric socket but could still pick up the wireless signal, and was 
somewhere where I wanted to listen to the radio.
