[Icom] IC-R7000

That is common with R-7000's - the display issue is addressed on ICOM's
service FAQ site. Basically a bunch of 'lytic caps are not growing
old gracefully.  They will usually come around if left on for an hour or
more - turn the unit on and off to reset it and see if the display holds.
