My radio loses it's memory sometimes. I'll program my frequencies in I want to scan and a couple weeks later they are gone and the radio goes back to 24 Mhz. Anybody else have this annoying problem? Is it maybe a bad internal battery?

That must be what it is. Sometimes it keeps the memory for a long time and sometimes it doesn't. Our power in this neighborhood isn't very reliable. I suppose it only takes a second to lose it.

Wally my 2995DX never kept its memory very long and i had it for 3 years ! I did talk to a guy who had a 2995DX longer than i had and his was on a power backup system and it never lost its memory so i realy think its a power outage thing !

Hope it helps !

My RCI2985DX never has a menory problem. I do keep it pugged in to and live outlet, even when power goes off from storm or somthing it keeps it's memory. The 2995DX is pretty much the same so it should also keep memory too.
