[Wswss] RE: [VHF] old fm radio question

[Chris Boone]

It's a watch battery...2.5-3V DC...look for a coin size battery on the
PCBs....same thing used in CMOS of PC Motherboards...
OR it could be a 1 FARAD cap but iirc that radio used the battery instead.
Manual can be found on the Internet....Google IC-45 manual and you'll run
across it

Subject: [VHF] old fm radio question

Have an old Icom IC-45 fm radio---440 mhz.  It works BUT keep-alive battery
gone.

Anyone know ""where the battery is located in the radio ??""

and

""What is the voltage of the battery supposed to be ??""

Lost manuel so in a bit of a hard place.
