RCI 2995 DX Losing Memory

[HavaV10]

Ok here we go. Just upgraded to a Mean Well 50 amp power supply. Works fantastic. Now when I turn the radio off and then back on memory is lost and display shows 24000 Mhz. So what gives? Is there a battery that saves the memory from the last time the radio was turned on? If there is no battery how does this work? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

It is a well known issue with the newer 2995 DX HP. Mine always reverts to 27.250 Some retailers send back the affected batch to Ranger and others didn’t…I was out of luck with mine.

So now I'm curious as to this memory issue. So what is the fix? What is the warranty shop doing to resolve it?

mine is holding memory a little better. Defaults to 27.3000 when I turn it on and RG beep ANL/NB are turned off from previously being turned on.

Minor but very annoying. It should be covered by Rangers warranty though but shipping is the issue for me being in the U.K.

still having a issue with this. Defaults to 24.000 when turned off and then back on. Anyone have a fix for this?

No easy fix as far as I am aware. Only the retail shop would have had to send the faulty radios back to Ranger and they in return would have had sent a new batch of radios to the retailer. Some did, some obviously didn’t.

still having the issue. I changed out the 2 electrolytic caps on the board but that didn't help. Still looking for answers. Thanks.
