[ICOM] Minimum voltage to operate a 756Pro-3

[Alex NE7L]

the manual says whatever icom wants.

you will have to check it yourself to found actual voltage for your radio 
and voltage drop of your battery.

I was running original 1000MP with 'deep cycle' battery and it was about 
11.8V.
It looked like you are able to power up with 12V, but as soon you key 
transmitter - voltage drops to 11.7-11.8 and radio dies.
