[ICOM] IC-245 Help Needed..

I got the audio working now, double checked everything and the plug that 
connects the wiring from the SSB/FM switch to the main board of the radio on 
the bottom side was the problem, i unplugged it again and cleaned the 
contacts and plugged it back in and now its works.

This radio doesn't have an upper mic connector, there is a delete plate over 
it with a circle and CW SSB FM on it.

I will check the setting of R-72 now as it seems to be a little low on the 
gain but working.

Thanks!

Scott
