[Icom] MFJ "ICOM'S" is the possessive singular...not the plur al

The confusion here is that the plural of letters of the alphabet have an
apostrophe-- "His report card had four A's." is correct. It does not apply
to multiple letter abbreviations, with or without periods, such as ICOM. The
"s" should be lower case, however. ICOMS is incorrect, ICOMs is OK. The
radios work just as well even if we address them incorrectly.--Mike, WV2ZOW
