I know that there are folks who don't feel they want to see any further
discussion of key clicks on this reflector. If you are one, simply delete
this message.

My MP's are 1200 miles away for the moment (or I am 1200 miles away from
them), so I have been spared the uncontrollable urge to cart them off to the
shop and start making changes. Once we are reunited I expect to listen for
clicks and probably look at the waveform with my Spectrum Analyzer. All of
the comments to this point have been useful for me. I really don't care if
all MP's, some MP's, many MP's, etc. have clicks. I am only concerned about
MY MP's! Like a number of others on the reflector, my 'self image' is
related to the quality of the signal I emit when on the air. That said, I am
curious about "Method 3" that has been proposed for MP click reduction.

Mario, S56A, has asserted that the CW shaping (and by implication reduction
of any existing clicks)can be solved with a much simpler modification than
has been proposed by George (INRAD) or Tom (W8JI). Has anyone else made this
change? If so, what results did you observe.
