[Amps] IMD

[Fuqua, Bill L]

If the amplifier is extremely non-linear it can produce key clicks.
Class-E amplifiers requre a enevelope modulating power supply to 
prevent key clicks. 
  I can see that it is possible for hard driven, class-c amplifier with 2 or 3 times cutoff bias
could produce very noticable  key clicks.

IME serious CW splatter is usually squarely down to the exciter keying
envelope or hot switching the PA, unless you get really silly with drive
levels the amplifier nonlinearities have only a modest effect.
