[TenTec] dit chopper IC-7800

[NJ0IP]

I dissagree.

I think Icom just does't care about high-speed break-in.
If it did, then it would at least attempt to incorporate a QSK keying
circuit for QSK linears.  They didn't even address the issue.  They don't
care.  Apparently Icom believes the people interested in QSK linears and
high speed CW are just too small of a market segment (sorry Tom!).

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.
