Re: Code setting for radio

Here's an idea, thought I've never tried it.
I have heard that putting the radio in a Zip-lock bag in the freezer for
an hour will reset the code to factory defaults.
Presumably this works by reducing the voltage of the internal battery
that keeps the number stored on the chip.

However, I would only do this as a last resort if I were you.  Subzero
temperatures could conceivably damage the radio too. Spread the word if
you do get desperate enough to try it :-)

Just a thought, but if the freezer idea can work, how about opening up
the radio and squirting some of that freezer aerosol over the internal
battery instead? Wouldn't freeze the entire radio at least.

ps Are these internal batteries sometime *inside* one of the chips? If
so finding the right one could be difficult.
