[1000mp] ARRL testing of Clicks

"The ARRL could give meaningful reports through a simple test.  They
could send a modest speed string of dots, and use a peak storage spectrum
analyzer that stores hundreds of sweeps in memory. They'd just need to
sweep across the signal at a slow rate using high selectivity, and it
would draw a picture of the attenuation with frequency."

I sure hope the guys at the ARRL testing lab read this and take some
action, Tom.  The unmodified FT-1000MP, Mark V,  and Field are among the
worst when it comes to key clicks (verified by me by listening to them). 
Five unmodified MPs, with their 5 kHz-wide clicky CW signals, can take up
the entire first 25 kHz of the 160-meter band, making narrow CW filters
virtually useless!!
