At first it was an intermittent problem but now does it all the time. I am assuming it is the CMOS battery. Has anyone out there had a similar problem?

That's what happens to Kenwood TS-440S. You can run the radio with a
master reset on power up, but loose everything when you turn the power
off. A new CMOS battery fixes for at least ten years.
