Re: [Elecraft] Replace backup battery CR2032 in a K3
Grant, thanks! I did not know that, or had already forgotten this twelve years after assembling the rig. I was also thinking that a backup and restore of the settings would be sufficient. I am going to replace it soon. 73s Steef PA2A Grant Youngman schreef op 2020-07-14 17:39: The battery supports the real time clock only. You won’t lose any other settings if you replace it.

Re: [Elecraft] Replace backup battery CR2032 in a K3
Don’t get too excited. I’m told it only keeps the clock running. All settings are in non-volatile memory.

[Elecraft] Replace backup battery CR2032 in a K3
Hi, has anyone already changed the CR2032 backup battery in a K3? Under the carton cover the battery has started to oxydize but the Voltage is still 3.06 Volts after twelve years. I guess an external 3 Volts source should be applied to save all settings during the replacement. 73s Steef PA2A, K3 #1184 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
