[Kenwood] TS940SAT - troubleshooting questions

[Rob Neece]

YAH-HOOO!!!!

I have never been so happy to find a foolish mistake!  Thank you to the 
many TS940 owners that asked me if I had checked the Timer switch!  What a 
lesson!  I am so thankful for this list.

I am also appreciative of the advice and information regarding the AVR 
board, and it may pay off one day to have become familiar with this critter 
while it is working.

In case someone is watching this thread for info about the batteries, both 
Digikey and Mouser have replacements (BR2032, with leads) that cost less 
than $2 each.  I expect that they will do fine in the place of the 
originals.  Now I still have to decide if I will replace the batteries as a 
precaution, since I have done my homework and found that inexpensive 
replacements are available.  The other side of that argument is the 
powerful warning, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"  These are great words 
that I have come to appreciate.  How much trouble is it to change the 
batteries?
