In the slip, on the hook, underway when power needs to be
saved...nope.


Do you know what a 'switch' is?


Sounds like you didn't read the Icom manual. The Icom requires steady
current to save primary settings. Are you suggesting cutting power to
the radio utterly? If you leave the boat and forget to switch on you'll
eventually lose settintgs. In spite of what the CG says most folks will
NEVER install Joe's Icom in a sailboat and you can't show otherwise.
