Jonesy,
Ref replaceing the built in nicad in the PCS4000 to retain the mem
chnls. I would never be able to find that small ni-cad type cell,
so instead I removed the strange 3 stack and routed two wires externally
to a standard lion wireless ph battery. They are kinda expensive at
about $19 at walmart, but the idead worked out great. The lion
will probably last a lot longer than any form of NI-cAD anyway.
Its 3 cells about size of a 3 AA batteries with little white clip
on them. Made sure I got all the +'s and -'s wired correctly.
Now it holds the memory like as if it was brand new. One more thing
however. You said to do a wide spread offset like
142.150 (up) and 143.450 (down) on the AFMARS voice repeater I am still
working on that. You said put the up fqcy in A chnl slot 1 and the
down freqcy in B chnl slot 1 then switch to A-B to get the proper
spred. Correct me if I am wrong.
Joe (aka kilroy)
email is valid so can email aidred if you wish.
