[OZAPRS] Alinco 635 TNC

[Steve Sharp]

Managed to get it working, only to have it die again soon after putting it
back in the car:-(

Pulled it out again today - yep lost it's TNC settings again.

I'm guessing that memory battery on the TNC board has gone - and it's a
solder on one as well (is nothing ever easy?!).

Looks like I better warm up the iron and visit Jaycar......
