[ICOM] IC-706MKIIG & CT-17

[Ken Kinyon]

Hi Alan,
Make sure the Hex address for the radio is the same in the radio and writelog.
Make sure that both are specified in the same radix i.e. hex or decimal.  set
the baud rate the same.  My experience is that auto baud rate doesn't work that
well. Of course this is all coming from someone who has never used writelog. :<)
