Except that's STILL not uniform ... pin 4 is variously 9600 
baud receive audio on  (Icom, Yaesu), FSK input (Yaesu 
FT-450/950) or unused (Kenwood).  

> It is useable on HF on the IC-706 and IC-7000 

IC-703, IC-706mkIIg and IC-7000 only.  Icom did not add it to 
either of their newest transceivers (7200 or 7700).
