[ICOM] Dead short in Icom 735

[Gary Fiber]

Dave,

Sounds like a factory mod too but I don't remember what it may have been for.
Maybe a call to Icom can get you the answer. Mike Hilton is good at 
giving a look. I am sure the 735 stuff has been archived by now but 
he may still have some working copies near his desk.
