Hi JOhn,
Yes you are correct in your assumption that you have to pick a menu
selection before chaging the internal battery of the Yaesu FT817ND.
Without using a menu control program like commander or Ham Radio Deluxe I
doubt that you could change that option independently.
For more info talk to Debbie Norling.
She has a Yaesu FT817ND and uses the old commander software.
Hope this helps.
