[ICOM] IC706 Mk2G resume on scanning

[Jim Miller]

Thanks, Gary,

I am going out of town for a week so will not get a chance to look.  I have
downloaded the service manual but do not know if I will be able to find it
in the drawings.

I will see when I get back.

Tnx es 73, de Jim KG0KP

that has traffic?  It resumes after a few seconds even when there is traffic
on the memory channel.  I do NOT want it to take off and scan again until
the channel is clear.  I cannot find this option in the manual.  Both
Kenwood and Yaesu function this way and this is the way I want the 706 to
operate.
