Yes the FT1000 also clicks. Not as bad as the
MP but yes it do click.
I have modified my FT1000D, checked with friends
and haven�t got any click reports since so
hopefully it�s ok.

PS: Other popular rigs also do click. Forexample
the TS930S has too hard keying so it clicks, again
not as bad as the MP but it clicks.
