[ICOM] IC 756 Display and N4PY Software

[Carl Moreschi]

It looks that way looking at the command set but I think all the basic ICOM
CIV commands are really there.  I have decided I will add the 756 to my
program.  This will allow good frequency, mode and filter control through
the 30 band buttons my program provides.  The major function my program
provides that I will not be able to have for the 756 is the spectrum sweep.
This is because the 756 does not have an S meter read command.  But I will
be able to provide an button for Ant 1/2 control.  I should have the 756
additions ready in my program in about a week.

73,

Carl Moreschi N4PY
