[ICOM] AT-500 "Wait" LED constantly On

[Brian Mileshosky]

Tom (et al) --

I'm using the tuner with a general HF transceiver (i.e. no cables in 
between for automatic band switching, etc.).

In testing it with a friend who had a ProII, the tuner appeared to work 
but I honestly don't remember if the "Wait" LED was contantly illuminated 
at that time.  I'm thinking not, because that's something one of us 
surely would have noticed.

Hope this helps, some.
