The personality of the radio is programmed into the new board. Once you
install the board, you don't have to worry about the memory battery dying,
and losing the radio's operating system. The code is programmed into
non-volatile memory (probably a ROM)

Hi Gerald,
my RAM board came pre-loaded with 250 frequencies. The other memories
are
free and you have to enter them. Of course you can overwrite the
pre-loaded
ones if you want. I'll try to e-mail to you the installation sheet . If
your
address does'nt bounce ...
See you !

Thank you very much. The email shouldn't bounce, but then one never
knows for sure. What I was really wondering about was whether the
programming that controls the radio is already programmed into the ROM or
whether I would have to transfer that. Maybe my question doesn't
make sense. I'm new to this receiver and the expansion addon.
