[ICOM] Encoder for IC751A - main tuning

[Jim Hargrave]

Gary,

I hope you are right. I have been led to believe it also powers the CPU to
retain some of the programming information. If it only holds the memories,
that might explain the long life without any failures. I only use the
memories for band switching and have never found them empty. Maybe I'm just
lucky.
