[GCARC] Icom IC-706MkIIG - Loss of memory channels?

[Al KB2AYU]

A quick search indicates there is no backup battery in an IC-706.
However, if a glitch caused a system reset, you would lose all settings.
Have you tried re-entering some memory channels and see if they hold?

Seems to be just VFO-functional.  Is it possible that there's an internal battery that saves the memory that may have expired?  Any other thoughts?
