What do Key clicks look like in these new rigs waterfalls?

Maybe take screen shots?

Hi,
Think about this. If you conceal the rigs identity, how do readers know
which rigs to avoid. By concealing you are endorsing the faulty rigs.

I purposefully avoided naming the radios that I noticed had the clicks.
I think people should discuss that off line.  I can only say I agree
with your comments, Jim.  This problem was mentioned again by Rob
Sherwood in a recent webinar, and it clearly needs attention by the
manufacturers.  I also noticed extreme clicks years ago with early Flex
models, but they quickly cleared that up.  Even setting the default to
6ms or more by the manufacturers would be a big help, since it seems
most people don't change that setting.   Hot switching with older amps
with slow relays can be a major click problem, too.  Jim
