Try removing the radio/amp fuse over night. If still dead, look elsewhere for your draining problem.

My battery goes dead every week in my 2005 Hyundai Tucson. I have a drain somewhere and the dealer can't find it. Thanks for any help.
This seams to be a common problem with these. There was a problem on some Tucsons with a mis-aligned underhood switch that is connected to the alarm/security system. If it is misaligned, the security system is constantly drawing power but there are no outward signs that is doing so. Worth a look! :)
Also it could be the Radio . Those radios are known to drain batteries.
Also i have heard the door locks are a culprit.
I would check all three.
First i would pull the fuse for the radio and see what happens see if the battery gets drained still. if it doesn't get drained? Cool! Replace that radio with an after market one. If it does get drained ? I would pull the fuse for the door locks. and try that. The door locks on those vehicles are known to be speratric and can lock an unlock multiple times until the battery is dead. If thats the case with you? Bring it to a dealer and tell them what you did as far as testing.
Let me know what happens as far as outcome.
Please leave me a great feedback on here.

My battery gets drained every time I turn the car off for an hour or two
First thing to do is have the Battery tested. They will usualy do it for free at autozone or advanced auto, etc. If the battery has a dead cell it may start the car after sitting all night, or be dead in an hour. If the bat is good then you need to start checking for an electrical short.

Battery keeps dying due to radio+clock staying on
your radio is staying on? you have a bad door switch.the bcm does not see door opening and thus does not turn radio off. most likely the drivers door.
