[Elecraft] [K3] Real Time Clock Battery replacement

[Phil Wheeler]

No data here, Geoff; my K3 is only about 15 months 
old.

Likely irrelevant but the battery in my old 
TS-570DG was over 15 years old and still working 
when I replaced that battery a year ago.  But the 
TS-570 was little used after I built my K2 
starting in 1999 (which then became my primary rig 
until last year).

As it’s seven and a half years old I could also replace the clock battery while I have it exposed or I could leave it to see how long it keeps going. Has anyone’s K3 clock battery run down yet? Any views on how long it should last?
