[CQ-Contest] Firmware version 1.10 for the IC-7610 breaks waterfall displays

[Tom]

Icom has released V1.11 of the IC7610 firmware which fixes the issue. 
They did this 10 days after 1.10 was released.  This is a remarkably 
quick turnaround time for a company its size to respond.

Thanks to Icom for standing behind their product.

73,

Tom - N1MM
