[WriteLog] Radio info - MAYDAY!!!

[Charles Miller]

You need to edit the CIV address in the radio to match the 
closest model in the software. CIV address is a menu item in the 
ICOM radios. I started using a PRO3 when WriteLog only listed 
PRO2. I just set the CIV address in the radio for that specified 
for PRO2 and it works fine. I actually have never changed it 
back even though WriteLog now lists PRO3. You could probably use 
the PRO3 address, since the 7600 is more like the PRO3 than the 
7800 as far as features and behavior. Presumably the next update 
of the software will accommodate the new rigs. I used this 
method in WriteLog, N1MM, and DX Lab software.
