Pete,
I purchased my Mark V 13 months ago.  Since he had recently modified his
1000D to improve his own click situation, my friend W6YA was interested in
how my Mark V was sounding.  We did some on-the-air checks and he was very
impressed with how clean my Mark V sounded, basically reporting "no clicks."

Not specific measurements, but just a subjective observation....
