Gary,
Is the RTC battery still providing energy?

H 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
LEDâ??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 cookâ??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.
