[Yaesu] FT-1000D auto ATU question

[John Nelson]

>I am not SURE that this is the problem but due to the fact that the =
FT-1000D is a fairly OLD radio, it is VERY LIKELY that the 3 volt =
lithium memory battery in the tuner has expired, causing the tuner to =
FORGET what you stored.  I advise changing these batteries every 3 to 5 =
years for reliability.<

That's very interesting. There's no reference to a tuner backup battery =
in the manual -- any idea where it lives and what type it is?

>There is another one for VFO memory-change them BOTH!<

Yes, the manual makes reference to this one. Is it possible that it =
backs up the ATU memories as well?
