[aprssig] ic-706 mk2 cat cable

[MJ Inabnit]

I wanted to thank all the the folks who commented to this post.

I knew I'd get somewhere if I posted this question here.  I don't have 
any icoms--have had much better luck with
kenwoods for years now.  Anyway, we are off to the races and my new ham 
friend is excited.

Thank you again.
