[Kenwood] TM-732A battery location

[ken.d.brown at hawaiiantel.net]

Just be happy you don't live in Hawaii, where it is nearly impossible to 
have a tiny lithium battery shipped to you, lest it should explode and 
bring the aircraft down. I'm still trying to figoure out how to get a 
solder tab battery for my TS-50 and TS-440.
