[ICOM] IC-756PROIII No Transmit ESD Failures

[Dick Flanagan]

Where I am in the high desert of Northern Nevada I am more concerned 
with static build-up than I am with catastrophic lightning hits.  The 
ability to drain off static charges before they become large enough 
to damage my equipment seems very desirable.  Then again a 10 meg 
resister from the center conductor to ground would probably do the 
same thing, but I like the engineering of the I.C.E. units.
