[ICOM] Standby Switch?

Thanks, Vladimir, but that does not work with my Pro3. It will turn off with 
a longer push, but the short push does nothing.... no red light, no standby. 
I checked the manual, and that red light is an indicator for the timer 
function, not standby. I'm now thinking there simply is no standby feature, 
and I had best either rig a separate audio on/off switch, or continue using 
the phones jack as I have been.
