[ICOM] IC 756 Display and N4PY Software

[Carl Moreschi]

I could add some code to my N4PY ICOM program and support the 756 very
easily.  But the 756 command set only really supports setting frequency,
mode, split on/off, dualwatch on/off.  I can completely control frequency
and mode this way from the program.  My question is would this help people
with a 756 and burned out display.  Will you be able to set things like mic
gain, power output, etc. without a display?
