VX8r clock resets to 00
|
Been battling with this for some time and just today found out that there is an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery specifically for the clock.? I have the suspicion that this battery is no longer good (I've had my vx8r many years) and finally needs to be replaced.? I was wondering if anyone in the group has ever tried to replace this battery?? As far as I can tell, it's mounted directly to a PC board (as it looks like in the maintenance manual.
Hope someone can help. Floyd Bixler WD8DUP/DA1VF |

Fixed this with no problems.? Just did a backup of the HT to my desktop using RT Systems VX-8 Programmer, did a factory reset of the HT (Hold Band, HM/RV, TX PO, keys down and power up the HT), then restored the HT using the programmer software.? Worked like a charm.? If you don't have the RT Systems software, CHIRP should work just as well.

?According to the maintenance manual, there is a rechargeble Li-Ion battery just for the clock (as I see it. Not much further info) but rather thab take the radio completely apart just to take a look, I decided on the reset route, which worked.? We`ll see how this goes.? Someone better equipped should look at this battery thing for the clock. Floyd DA1VF/WD8DUP On Tue, Aug 4, 2020, 07:32 JOE HUDAK <ke0psk.joe@...> wrote:
