The FT102 (certainly in some, if not all serial number series) had terrible
key clicks. The official Yaesu mod was not very good at curing: my general
observation is that Yaesu rigs  appear historically to have been bad in this
respect, but they are not the only ones. There's no excuse for this, and the
QSK situation (or lack thereof) should not be a factor.

Evidence says that in most cases, it is NOT a receiver problem.

The 'spike' problem is again a design issue: you shouldn't need to use that
much ALC.
