Greetings:
I have an Omni 6 that starts boot up, goes through the process of turning the S
meter lamps on, then stops with all pushbuttons LED’s lit.
I checked the 20 MHz oscillator (good) and I checked all of the CPU address
lines and data lines, all of which are active.
The only thing I have found so far is that the real time clock, DS1285, which
has a small crystal for its timebase, is not running.
What I wanted to learn is whether or not the CPU will boot up without this
cook’s being in operation.
It seems to me that, since this is a real time clock, it should be running all
of the time, even when the radio is off, and the DS1285 should keep time
powered by the backup battery.
