[ICOM] Re: Icom R7000 Lithium backup battery?

[Steve]

Thanks for the info Don.

I really did figure it was this way as I had found very few posts saying

I have several older radios and have never see one that would loose it's 
firmware if the backup went dead.
I never owned the R71!

Thank Much,
Steve
