Argosy II's with T-R relays click. Argosy II's without T-R Relays don't.
How strange is that?
Hey, it's Friday afternoon and it's been a long week!

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.
