[ICOM] IC R-7000 battery

[Larry Hinton]

The battery has solder tabs. Most likely it is a CR2032. The service manual does not list it, but it is a part of a memory board assembly. I would recommend putting in a battery socket in case you need to replace the battery in the future.

I have Googled this problem and I get conflicting information about how to change the battery. Anyone have any experience with changing the battery on this old receiver.
