[Dx4win] Mode and filter selection on Icom 756 Pro rigs

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

After reading Ron and Alan's posting this morning regarding the default 
filters for Orion rigs, I decided to figure out why DX4WIN always selects 
filter 2 in my Icom 756 Pro II and III when clicking on spots. For those who 
have posed that same question here on the reflector, here's the answer:

Using Notepad, open "\RADIOS\ICOM 756 Pro.rig" and make the following change 
under the heading [RC-Set Mode]:

DEFAULT - invokes filter 2:
    CSTR=060002FD

For filter 1:
    CSTR=060001FD

For filter 3:
    CSTR=060003FD
