On my 560 Corsair, there is a very soft click inside the rig about 3/4 second
after last character is sent. No clicks are audible between characters. I
generally send somewhere between 12-18 WPM. I remember my old riceburner on
slow CW with "semi break-in" keying, the relay drove me nuts. Thank heaven for
TT QSK.

After disconnecting everything external to the rig that would make a noise
on the Corsair II and sticking my ear on the cabinet, I cannot hear a reed
relay. Couldn't find one in the manual, either.
