Hi,

Below are the 2 US repair facilities I am aware of. Dittel recommends the
place listed below in Florida. I have not heard much about them but did
receive some negative feedback a while ago. I'm not sure how accurate it
was.

Peninsula Avionics, Inc.
14229 SW 127th Street
Miami, FL 33186
phone: 305-238-6550
Fax: 305-238-7819

Mr. Nick Popovski

Another recommended source is below.
Rick Lord at Erie Aviation http://www.erieaviation.com/

Rick is not factory recommended but I've received good feedback about his
work once.

Good Soaring,

Paul Remde
Cumulus Soaring, Inc.

I have had the job done---
The battery is proprietary and soldered to the circuit board. It is a
lithium battery and can corrode the board if it leaks.

The radio gets a "tune up" as well.

I had it done at "Penninsula Electronics" previously know as "Nicks
Electronics" in Miami--factory Dittle service and the job was
satisfactory.

I have same radio about the same age. I always thought it is a special
deal to replace this battery and a factory authorized repair facility was
the only place that could do. So, I would certainly rather do myself to
avoid the hassle.

Ray, would you follow up and tell us all how easy it was to purchase the
battery, cost, and how difficult to replace.

Thanks,
Bob Fidler

Wish to find the source for the memory battery for the Dittle Radio
FSG71M. The one in my radio is 5 years old and needs to be replaced.
