I would recommend changing the Lithium Battery with the radio powered on, i.e.,
let the radio hold up the ram while you're swapping batteries.

Last week, Bob Parnass posted a message on setting frequencies outside the
band limits of the R71A.  The computer interface can be used for this purpose
on the 751, 271, and 471.  If I remember correctly, the radios only cover 1 MHz
above and below the band limits before folding takes place, and you can only
tune towards the band limits.  For greater coverage, you need to change the
band limits themselves;  I changed my 271 from the standard 143.8-148.2 MHz
to 140-150 MHz.

Finally, for satellite users, the computer interface makes working satellites
a delight.  Just tune the receiver and let a computer calculate and set the
transmitter frequency.
