[Icom] ICOM ic756 screensaver?

Adam and Mel-

Thanks for the info. I tend to be a little anal about my radios and upgrade
every 2 or 3 years as new models come out. Like to be able to sell "mint"
radios--just sold a mint 756 Pro for $1,375--I think a very good deal for
the new owner. Now I have an extra new PS-125 power supply--anyone
interested?
