[TenTec] Jupiter/Centurion relay noise in CW

Im hearing a relay in the Jupiter following my CW keying only when using my
Centurion amplifier. Is this normal? I don't hear any such relay noise
barefoot nor in any other mode using the amp.
In CW, with the amp, the keying loop is on with no delay in either menu
item. The TX EN and Out are wired as instructed. I dont run the amp much
when on CW and I never really noticed it until someone else mentioned they
were getting relay noise on CW even with no amp. I couldnt get my Jupiter to
have any relay noise until I turned the amp on. I tried this both low and
higher power and with the dummy load and on any antenna on all bands.
The question is should there be relay noise in the Jupiter when using a
compatible QSK amp?
