Kind of dumb of the designers to put the battery where its hard to access...

  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.

    Yep, the internal battery went below the 3v minimum to retain the memory…  The battery will have to be replaced.

    I was headed out to the field on the weekend, and checked the voltage in my Tx on the way out of the basement, only to get a ‘Backup Error’ message on the screen. When I turned off and back on again, everything was fine, except for the fact that all memory had been erased. It’s a time waster to transfer all the settings back in (I have them backed up on paper), but I need to know the cause.



    I’m assuming this is a failure of the internal backup battery (assuming there is one?), but I wanted to poll the list before I started hunting around to see if I could replace such a beast myself.



    Thanks for any ideas,
