What most folks miss is that  because CW is really 100% AM of a carrier 
by a rectangular wave, IMD, which is a product of amplitude 
non-linearity, is also a major contributor to clicks on CW.

The strength of clicks and their bandwidth is the result of two factors 
-- the rise/fall time of the keying, and the non-linearity in the RF 
chain, including the rig and the power amp. Hopefully this circuitry 
will be active on CW as well as sideband.
