 I have heard that a new company named Willco is going to sell no fail

 memory for the Icom radios.



 Two models, one with 64 channels for around $70 and a 1000

 memory channels for around $149 will replace the small battery

 backup unit.  The Willco board will use standard AA batteries.

 When the batteries die in the Willco unit, the radio won't fail

 and need servicing as is now the case.  (However, the memories

 would need to be re-programmed.)



 Using the lock button and memory switch, one steps through the

 banks of 32 channels each.  One channel in each bank can be used

 to store the channel number for display to identify the bank number

 according to the maker.



 Willco's address is P.O. box 788 NewLenox Il. 60451



 If someone orders one, let me know what you think of it.  I am not sure

 which radios other than the R-71A in which it will work.
