[Dx4win] Icom 756 Pro II rig file

[Steve Tobe]

The recent discussion on the Icom 756 Pro III has raised another
question for me. I have an Icom 756 Pro II and in dx4win, two extra
digits are consistently added to the frequency--e.g. 14.070.00 becomes
1407,000.00. Anyone know of a fix for this? It can be very annoying!

Thanks and 73.
