[ICOM] proIII swr short

[Gary P. Fiber]

Its not in split mode is it where the TX has been opened and its 
transmitting out of band on 160 and 80 meters? 
I can't remember how many times I have done that to my self with my 706 
be calling someone on HF only to be transmitting in 2 meters geesh.
 
Maybe a buddy has a counter.
