Default WJ 8617B not saving settings when powered OFF

I already am a member of Premium RX, but tnx for the reply. I figured the
radio had a backup battery, but couldn't find it. Found my answer on Premium
RX....installed missing battery and now all OK

My WJ 8618B will save all settings....freq, BW, etc when power is turned
OFF and then back ON again. I also have a WJ 8617A that does not save the
settings. When it is turned OFF and then ON again the settings return to
20mhz AM setting. Can I get this radio to retain stored settings when
powered OFF and then back ON again?


Hi,

You might try joining the "Premium Rx" group:

Quite a few Watkins-Johnson owners there.
