[TenTec] Omni-V QSK and key clicks

[roger]

I had this problem on another mfg's rig and I just put a 1 mf cap in series
with the wire to the head phone and stopped it. That would probably work on
both if you can not find a better Mod. I just unscrewed the phone jack cover
and clipped the lead going to the earphones soldered it in and put the cover
back on.
