[Icom] battery replacement

Sat, 11 May 2002 10:29:10 -0400

Hi John & Gary, we just finsihed the 735 and will do the 761 later (time
constrants)
The 761 does not have a ram module.  So i guess the caveat is for the 751.
The swap was not a problem, although my 735 has a copper strap that solders
onto the battery and covers the CPU.  That took an extra hand to hold down
the strap.

Counting this exchange it makes 2 that we have done!
