Gary,
To get this information into the archives (again), another way
to support unsupported Icom transceivers is to use the override
function in the [RIGS] part of writelog.ini.

> Icom IC-756PRO=0x12
For example, since the IC-706mkIIg is not supported directly
one could add the following entry:
Icom IC-706=0x58
and then select IC-706 as the transceiver in Writelog. This
avoids the need to change the IC-706mkIIg default address.
Similarly, the IC-756Pro3 can be overridden for use with the
IC-7600 until specific support for the 7600 is added.
