The exception might be two 47 nF caps instead of present 10 nF in CW key
line.

         Excuse me?...the FT-1000 was introduced around 1990 and was shipped
with clicks until it was recently discontinued.  The FT-1000MP was
introduced in 1995 and subsequent models STILL have clicks.  If that's
"do it right the first time" and continuous process improvement, I believe
someone must have slept through their Deming TQC classes.  ;-))
