[1000mp] interfacing 1000mp and ic2kl

Hi Don,
All icoms will act the same, so the interface will work.
I'll put the schematics and print layout online so you can download it.

I am interested and would appreciate receiving the data to build an
interface for my FT-1000MP Mark V to the Icom IC PW1 if your interface with
work with this amplifier.
