Hi John,
The input to the ICOM compensation pin requires very little current, and
since there is already a 10 volt regulator in the MASTR II, it's easier
and cheaper to use two resistors.

Kevin,
Would it be better to replace the 2 resistors with a small low current
TO-92 +5v regulator.
That will provide a more stable voltage and is smaller than 2 resistors.
Just my 2ยข
