[TenTec] ORION headphone clicks - the fix!

I have been doing some more experimenting based on Bob's suggestion to 
increase the speed.  The clicks went away at about 40 wpm.  A little speedy for me.  
I usually send around 25 wpm and increase the spacing to make it comfortable 
for the other guy.

Then I realized what I was hearing was not a click but the background 
receiver audio coming up when the QSK shifted over to receive.  Yes, it happens that 
quickly.

I increased the QSK hang time to 20% so the rig doesn't switch over between 
dits and it sounded better.  I only got the click between letters.  Switching 
to 40% I only get the noise between words and it sounds less like clicks and 
more like it really is.

I believe this is "the fix for clix."
