Hi Guys,
I seem to remember that there was some discussion here a few years ago
about problems with the internal battery in Becker VHF Transceivers
going flat, and the radio subsequently losing stored frequencies and
other information.
A friend of mine has a Becker radio, which is starting to show signs
of such failure, and I am wondering if the battery is a readily
available type, and can be replaced by someone with some experience
with electronics (35 years working in the game).
TIA

The problem with the batteries is that they start to corrode and leak
out damaging the circuit boards. Many times the circuit board needs
replacing in combination with the batteries.
