[ICOM] IC-746pro

[rayswan at rochester.rr.com]

That radio is old enough the memory battery, likely a 2032 button type is dead.  They last forever if the radio is kept plugged in.  If the radio sits unplugged for a long period of time the battery comes into play and goes flat.

good luck

Not sure about the 746PRO, but I remember having to replace a battery 
in early ICOMs. That battery kept the memories alive. Probably 
mentioned in the maintenance info. I think it was a 3V lithium.
