[amsat-bb] IC-706MKIIG work through satellites

[Roy Dean]

 Oh, I forgot to mention - be sure to start at "L" Tx power on the linears
and work your way up from there.   As I said below, I don't have experience
as to how each of the "L, 1-9, H" power settings are correlated to the
published max values for 70cm and 2m, but more than 5 watts on the linears
can cause serious problems for some sats (AO-07) and can cause annoying
problems for other users on all of them.
