[NSRCA-discussion] JR 8303 Tx - 'Backup Error'

[Ron Van Putte]

After watching Tony replace the memory battery in my Futaba 9ZAP, I  
wouldn't want to do it myself.  It looks like open heart surgery,  
with circuit boards laid aside on ribbon connectors.  It isn't a  
pretty sight.  If the JR 8303 is anything like the 9Z, don't try it  
yourself.
