Unfortunately the backup battery is only charged when the radio is turned on :-( Blame TYT for yet another bad design idea, as the MCU memory only consumes a few micro amps, so it would make more sense to charge the small backp battery from the main battery.

Even when the battery is fully charged it only keeps the settings for about 3 or 4 weeks.

I am going to change to using the Flash memory for storage, but there are problems with the CPS when I do this :-(

Does the nuisance channel skip work in the latest Alpha release? While scanning a list of FM analog repeaters, I get ones that I choose to ignore. I can't seem to make it work correctly on my RT-3S or perhaps I'm not selecting the correct keys to disable the channel.
to skip, press *

Have this problem with the memory battery been solved now ?
I tried searching and reading the release announcements but couldn't find that the RT3S was fixed, I found that MD9600 got the fix 20230228.

Yes. The memory problem is fixed on all STM32 CPU radios
