[Icom] Need help with mobile installation of my ICOM 706 MKIIG

Hi Bert,

I'm sure that you'll get lots of very good comments on this.  A simple 
method that I do, is to run an additional wire from the battery, through any 
of the rubber grommets on the firewall.  If anything usually the steering 
column has something.  I then just use a electrical wire nut to tie that 
wire into the supplied wire harness under the dash.

73 & GL,
