The CW gets choppy when you are sending from TR and when sending
from the internal keyer?

I have some ideas, and this might even be releated to the problem
W0MN has seen with the 870... I have tried to find someone at Kenwood
to talk to who might know something about all of this, but so far,
I have only gotten useless advice (i.e., send the radio back).
It sounds like (assuming that my first paragraph is true) that
Kenwood has taken a step backwards in their interface implementation.
I believe I have a flag in my program where you can disable the
polling of the radio when transmitting (NO POLL DURING PTT) and
perhaps this is what needs to be done to "fix" the problem.
This was never necessary with their previous radios that didn't end
with 70.
