At the gave risk of starting up the CW click bandwidth debate again, I
just wanted to mention...

Last weekend during the ARRL CW contest, I was tuning around the CW
bands using Digipan.  Wow, what a difference in the bandwidth of various
CW signals.  That was the first time I have seen and heard "clicks".  A
clean CW signal had a very narrow trace on the waterfall, and a clicky
one spread out as bad (or worse) as an overdriven PSK signal.  I am not
much of a CW op, but after seeing this, I am going to dig into my 1000mp
and do the CW mods.  I just don't look forward to trying to get to the
back side of that RF board.
