[Icom] IC756 SWR meter compared with FC902 or DAIWA CN101

Hi Juan,

I would put my trust on the the CN101 (I own one and I'm very happy 
with it), the scaling on a good SWR meter will give you a better
reading than the rig build in rig meter, especially if the rig uses a 
LCD bar display (my 706MKIIG uses one of these).
