[ICOM] Backup ICOM Radio

[John Geiger]

And while I trust Sherwood's numbers, I don't think
they are the end all in performance.  The 706MKIIG has
fairly high numbers in his 3rdIMD test.  I have used a
706MKIIG, it isn't that good of a receiver. 
Definitely not better than the FT1000D or FT1000MP
that it seemingly scores above.
