[LOGic] 6M Rig Support for IC-756Pro3

[R Johnson]

Hi Mel:
Problem solved !!!
Mel thank you very much for all your help and advice.

You were ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, the problem was in the "Band" list.

I sent some test spots for 6M AM,FM,CW,& RTTY. All set the rig correctly.
SSB still was a problem even though I had set SSB to USB in the "Band" list.
I finally sent a test spot for 6M phone (after changing SSB to USB). Worked FB !!!

While looking at the "Spot Log" I saw 2 fields "Mode" and "Actual Mode".
I did a"Drag and Drop" and put them side by side, now I could compare them.
All my new spots were correct.
The old 6M phone spots were shown as SSB instead of USB.

As a test I set the 20M Phone in the "Band List" from SSB to USB and let LOGic run overnight.
When I got home this evening I found that I couldn't set the rig to ANY 20M phone SPOT
without getting an Error Message !!!  After changing 20M back from SSB to USB everything
was working correctly.
