[1000mp] Re: New Keyclick Info on W8JI Web site

[Jan Erik Holm]

No problem to hear the clicks. During forexample
CQWW CW contest when lets say 15 is open to USA
the S-meter hardly never drops below S-9 due to
key clicks, there are many many MP�s in the USA.
Also att many occations I can hear spurs below
the band (20980 - 21000) from stations operating
just above 21000.
And YES, every MP, MP MkV and Field do have key
clicks. It is so bad on the CW bands these days
that it�s far from enjoyable to operate CW due to
the key clicks.
It�s to the point that I wish the MP never was
manufactured.
