Fw: [TenTec] QSK clicking

[Jim Esser]

Argosy II's with T-R relays click.  Argosy II's without T-R Relays don't.
How strange is that?

Hey, it's Friday afternoon and it's been a long week!

		On my 560 Corsair, there is a very soft click inside the rig
about 3/4 second after last character is sent. No clicks are audible between
characters. I generally send somewhere between 12-18 WPM. I remember my old
riceburner on slow CW with "semi break-in" keying, the relay drove me nuts.
Thank heaven for TT QSK.

		After disconnecting everything external to the rig that
would make a noise

cannot hear a reed
