[ICOM] 706 And Tigertronics?

[gfiber at comcast.net]

Ya there are some pins on the MKIIG used for different things than on the original one was the VHF / UHF PTT line. 

If you have questions do ask. I spent a lot of time while I worked at Icom helping callers connect thse things together via telephone.
