[ICOM] Icom 706 MKIIG cap/mars mod

That and the new security investigation requirements
for participation are causing desertion from MARS, CAP,
and US Coast Guard Auxilliary in large numbers.

Americans don't care much for big brother snooping.

Wow.  I'd think that would about kill participation by volunteers for CAP or 
MARS programs.  Or else people or ignoring the regulation. I know I probably 
wouldn't purchase a commercial grade radio to be a volunteer.  And then, few 
of the commercial grade radios meet spec.  Maybe they're getting military 
surplus?
