Dittel Internal Battery Replacement Cost
My Dittel radio stopped working this spring so it sent it out. I was told that it was the internal battery had died and needed to be replaced. The final cost was $380 which included three hours labor and an inspection. I was quite surprised at that number. And three hours to replace a battery & inspect? Do those numbers seem reasonable? This was my first foray into avionics repair so maybe I'm just naive.

Dittel Internal Battery Replacement Cost
Dittel FSG71M. It was not working as in - nothing. No display, no transmit, no receive. Like the power was turned off. Peninsula Avionics in Florida was the shop. I heard they had a good reputation. The internal battery had not been replaced in at least 13 years and that wasn't by me. I thought that it wouldn't hold channels in memory with a dead internal but, apparently, it causes the whole thing to shut down.

Dittel Internal Battery Replacement Cost
The 71M will still work if the memory battery is dead. It is only there to store channels.
By the sounds of it they did more than just replace the memory battery. I can do that in about 20 mins. Open the top cover, remove the old one and solder in the new one. Replace top cover. Done. Still the best and most reliable place to have any work done is with Anton Lang in Germany. He has all the spares you can ever need. |
