Interesting to see the comments on key-clicks. I was not able to be 
on last night for various reasons, but I was able to listen in on the 
contest for a short while with a dipole at 60ft and 4 bi-directional 
one wavelength beverages - stn located in Norfolk.  I listened for a 
while - or should that be watched - on an SDR1000 set to show 
panoramic display on a 17inch monitor.

It was easy to see the width of some of the signals versus the others 
and, using the attenuators, to normalise them to get a true 
picture.  There's some shaming to be done - but why can't Yaesu have 
done the simple design change on the FT1000 in the first place?  If 
it was a car it would have been a factory recall .....
