- Lines: 25
-
- 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.
