[Elecraft] Replace backup battery CR2032 in a K3

[Steef PA2A]

Grant,

thanks! I did not know that, or had already forgotten this twelve years 
after assembling the rig. I was also thinking that a backup and restore 
of the settings would be sufficient. I am going to replace it soon.

The battery supports the real time clock only.  You won’t lose any other 
settings if you replace it.

Hi,

has anyone already changed the CR2032 backup battery in a K3? Under the 
carton cover the battery has started to oxydize but the Voltage is still 
3.06 Volts after twelve years. I guess an external 3 Volts source should 
be applied to save all settings during the replacement.
