hi frank,

http://www.mouser.com and digikey has them.

for those with the ts-50, either the battery holder replacement with
slip in cell works fine.

The solder the wire on the cell can work but why take the chance
of heating the insides up and possible leaks later destroy the rig.

I need to replace the CR2016 in my Yeasu FT-5200. Seems ridiculous to
pay $10+ to Yeasu for a $2.00 battery. Has anyone had any luck finding a
source that you can share with me for a low cost alternative?

Thanks and 73,
