Ditto Here:

In view of the absolutes being tossed around here about Clicks in 
the 1000 MP
I also ran some checks on My unmodified 1000MP Field
Mine ran OK on  Three different receivers 930/950/850
then conversely did a check and  comparison  amongst the three 
other  rigs I have here
Someone else had also stated emphatically that all 930's have 
clicks,
bought mine new in 1985  I still have it and  have made tens of 
thousands of CW  Q's
 with it and have never had one complaint!
 Same process and also it tested , Zilch - no clicks
Acquired my 1000MP Field , less than a month ago, mebbe they're 
 not all bad !
