[ICOM] Icom 706 MKIIG cap/mars mod

I can second that.  After holding a Secret clearance while on active duty 
for 25 years, then a Top secret while on the MX Missile development program 
when working for the old Rockwell Intl it still took months to clear me for 
the Coast Guard Auxiliary when I joined up with them.  Many members are 
unable to renew their annual memberships due to not having their background 
checks updated.
