[DX-CHAT] battery inside Yaesu radios

[Charles Harpole]

Notice to FT-1000 MP and Mark 5 owners.... if u usually turn off all AC 
power to ur radio for long periods of time.... month or more 
continuously.... via a switch other than the OFF switch on the radio 
itself......

YOU WILL RUN THE INTERIOR BATTERY DOWN prematurely.  The Mark 5, at least, 
has a switch  on the back panel to disable this problem.   I went to Asia 
with radio totally off AC mains, but forgot the little sw.   Now I have 
grief.
