[ICOM] IC-706MKIIG & CT-17

[Pete ....]

Alan,
Your problem is the hex address and I bit my nails for
a long time on that issue. The manual is absolutely
wrong and I had to go through every possible address
till it finaly "clicked". I think there were only two
or three possibilities left when I found it. Anyway
forger the 58H listed in the manual and try 04H, that
is the one working for me. Let me know your success.
73,
Peter NH6VB
ALOHA.
