[Icom] NO RF problems 706MKIIG

[Larry Benko]

A screw description also needs the thread pitch or number of
threads per inch.  As mentioned below, the screw is a
3.0mm diameter by 6.0mm long round head screw.  The thread
pitch is .50mm which makes it a coarse or standard pitch.  The
screw may need to be tight for mechanical reasons but the screw
does NOT electrically connect to any of the pins in the cable.
I have a whole jar full of the correct screws.  Send me your
address PRIVATELY and I will throw some in an envelope to you.
