[TenTec] dit chopper IC-7800

[n4lq]

I would love to know exactly what is so hard about compensating for this 
short dit problem. As much effort as ICOM puts into engineering you would 
think this would be a piece of cake! I don't think it's a case of not 
caring about cw. Somehow, I think they actually believe QSK is supposed 
to work that way.
