[TenTec] V2.060b Release Comments - audio clicks

[K4IA at aol.com]

I am out of town away from my Orion so I haven't been able to play  with this 
but I do remember that in earlier 1.3 versions of the software  when the 
radio was first released there was a big discussion of the loud clicks  heard in 
the audio between CW characters.  It sounded to me like the audio  was too 
"hot" when switching over and you were hearing the background noise at a  high 
level before the audio chain took control and quieted it down.
 
Some folks heard them loudly (myself) others claimed they didn't  exist.  TT 
said they didn't exist but if you heard them you should use  high(?) 
impendence headphones or put a resistor in series.  This was one of  the early gripes 
that was debated (does too! - does not!).  Finally a  revised software release 
came along and the clicks were gone but so was the  QSK.
 
Could it be we got improved QSK at the expense of a reintroduction of  the 
same problem?  Anyone else remember?
