[ICOM] Opinion on 735 rig

[Mort Arditti]

Don,

Is the 735 one of the Icom radios with the 'operating system' stored in CMOS
memory in the radio and it is backed up by an internal  battery? If the 
battery
dies, the radio needs to be re-programmed by Icom at their service center.
Thank you.

Mort, KB6BSN
