[1000mp] Replacement of the memory battery

[KB9GKC at aol.com]

Hello FT-1000MP friends,
 
Today I opened up the FT-1000MP for the memory battery replacement and I  
avoided losing the memories by doing the following.
 
1) removed bottom cover
 
2) turned FT-1000MP on
 
3) made sure I held on to chassis to avoid static discharge into  radio.
 
4)  removed battery and slid new Duracell 2032 into place
 
5) re assembled and tested and memories have been retained.
 
I tested the 14 year old 2032 battery and it still read 3.2 volts (radio  
has always been plugged into 120Volts)
 
Years ago I created a  typed list of all my settings but I wanted  to avoid 
playing in the menus to get everything right again.
 
Hope this helps someone!

Hello  FT-1000MP friends,

I am about to replace the battery on my 14 year old  radio.

If I leave the radio plugged into 120Volts and remove the  battery will the 
 
settings be lost in the menu?

Thank you and  good  DX

Douglas
