[aprssig] the (UIDIG ROM bug) and the New WIDEn-n Paradigm

[Robert Bruninga]

This is a UIDIGI-ROM problem and not a Kenwood problem.
There is a workaround setting in the UIDIGI ROM digis 
that will be posted soon...

Only the UIDIGI ROM decrements the WIDEn-N to 0 and
does not mark it as haveing been used...       de Wb4APR
