Good point.  The other thought I have is that the sidetone of the OMNI VI
is not smooth like other Ten Tec rigs due to a circuit that allows
tracking of sidetone volume.  You can eliminate the clicking of the
sidetone by removing a connector from the IF/AF board, then the sidetone
must be set manually, but the QSK just sounds better overall due to the
sidetone.  Dennis, write back if you think this is it, I can look back
inside to tell you the connector number.
