Case in point. Uniden Bearcat BC890XL's memory battery life just a
couple of weeks.
I've run into situations like this with other equipment in the past,
and there was always a "fix" or mod.
Looking everywhere that I can, I've seen no problems mentioned with
this particular scanner.
Has anyone heard of this one, or better yet, got a mod or fix?

I think the memory battery is a CR2032.....should measure 3 volts. Yours is
probably shot, as the owner's manual states the battery should retain the
memory for 5 years. That may be stretching it some, but it should certainly
hold for longer than 2 weeks. That's where I would check.
