===================
I didn't make note of which signals were clicky, Bill, because after all
the negative things said about the TS-830S receiver, I really thought the
problem was at my end.  For now, all I can say is that any clicks I heard
were there both with and without the 830's NB engaged.

The next time I hear any clicks on the band, I'll make a note of their
strength and callsign and try to determine what rig they're using.

For you, Bill, a good check might be to contact someone else in the East
and ask them for their opinion on clicks while you switch between your
FT-1000MP and TS-930.
