At first that sounds like a good idea, but then I recalled that the 
first dit or dah has a greatly INCREASED power spike on it... so that 
doesn't work!

Maybe we could get ICOM (and others!) simply to get rid of the spike, 
and then we'd save the required power.

Of course, if the spike triggers your amp into "overdrive fault" 
mode, and the amp drops out, that's saving power, huh?!
