Hmmm...'pumps pretty badly'....
I wonder how many people ride their RF gain?
I usually run along with my RF gain backed down to about 2:30 or 3:00
o'clock position (5:00 o'clock being max). It's a lot less noisy, lot less
'thumpy' and I still can hear the really weak ones as I try to will them to
hear my QRP signal.
Would backing off on the RF gain help with the clicks that are being
discussed at length?
