Is this hard? I have an alinco DR 590 that is acting funny. Checked the
battery and although it was keeping memory it showed less than a volt.

It is a BR 2032. Do these things come with the tabs already on the
battery when you buy them?


Is this a "REPEAT" post? You've been asking the same questions for over 2
weeks now. As one other poster suggested, DO SOMETHING. For Christ's
sakes, you keep asking the same questions in like 5 different news groups,
and you've STILL not managed to get it in your head what they're trying to
tell you.

Getting help on line is good. I and I'm sure tons of others don't mind
helping, but for Christ's sakes - PUT IT TO ACTION. If you can't figure it
out by now, then get an ELMER near you to help out. Otherwise, you're
going to be a hell of a lot worse off than you are now, and from the looks
of things, that is pretty bad. In case you are clueless as to an Elmer,
it is a person with experience who can show you up close. From the sounds
of things, you SURE could use one.

Otherwise, I'm beginning to wonder if you're not either slightly mentally
deficient or a troll. NO ONE asks the same questions over a couple weeks
and gets answers and has to still ask the same questions.......

Well said. This guy has been "plonked" by me for weeks now. It is a
pleasure to see intelligent questions once again.

*PLONK*'ed for weeks by me, as well. He's been asking the most basic,
lame electronic/radio/antenna questions in a variety of ng's.

Kinda reminds me of a clueless fella I once had the 'pleasure' of
working with at an old $DAYJOB. He would ask me the most basic
(computer/programming) questions - that his resume claimed he had
down pat - and I got tired of it.
I told'im: "I don't mind answering questions. But, you had better not
ask me the same damn question more than once." (And, he had been...)
That seemed to have mostly solved the problem.
Later I learned that he started using a list of the "experts" at the
$DAYJOB, and was methodically going round-robin to ask his questions.
He finally (re)embellished his resume and moved on down the road to
a new, unfortunate employer.
