Yule Log BEV has the yule log FTA on 91 and 82. One with Christmas carols (91) and one with the sound of the fire (82). Not sure what frequency.

I think the date is in the serial number. Just can't remember which number it is. Someone is bound to help. I have changed a battery on a 920 and a VCII. There are also instructions in the forums for that as well. I got the batteries from Mouser in Texas but you can also get them at Radio Shack...
