PCM card emulation/Frontal Lobe repair

[terry michaels]

Barry:

For your sake I sure hope you're not dealing with equiment designed like
the ICOM R-71A shortwave receiver.  This is a high performance HF band
receiver, 80's vintage, that had some of the parameters needed by its MPU
stored in a CMOS memory backed up by a lithium cell.  When the cell runs
out, the radio becomes non-functional.  The solution is to return it to the
factory for reprogramming.

I can't think of a more stupid way of designing a piece of equipment.  ICOM
probably thinks otherwise, they get something like $150.00 for
reprogramming, and they sold tens of thousands of these radios.
