[1000mp] FT1000MP Key Clicks on first element DO Matter

Wed, 1 Jan 2003 12:13:00 -0500

Hello All,

The statement that all MP's click is bogus.  I ran the test again on my
unmodified Mk-V Field using a TS 940-S for receiving.  I increased the
input signal to 20 dB over S9 and results were that there was no clicks
past 700 Hz...
