Re: [TenTec] OMNI VI Question

[Jim <jlboockh@earthlink.net>]

My Omni V+ Upgrade 3 maintains memory contents even when the power 
supply has been off for an extended period of time. I bought the rig new 
about 10 years ago. I haven't replaced the battery, but Ten Tec might 
have when it went back to them in 2000.
It might be worth it for you to invest in a new battery.
