RCI-2950 Gen 2 Memory Cap location ?

I have never tried to analyze this computer board. The presence of the EEROM puzzles me. The factory service folks told us in 1995 that the cap was good to retain data for a week. If the EE were used for that, it wouldn't matter if the capacitor ran down.

I think the "update EE while the cap bleeds off" might make more sense. Hadn't considered that scenario.

Somebody (else) with time on their hands should hook up some logic analyzer hardware and peruse what it does in detail.

Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hi. I acquired a Galaxy Saturn Turbo that goes into xmit mode, xmit LED lights, but no output at all in any mode when monitoring on a radio right next to it. Nothing. It receives fine. Also, in the amp module on back, there are MRF454's in there. Those weren't factory, were they? Any clues? Thanks.
