Is the Field a good QSK performer ?
I know a guy who tried an MP and claimed the MP produced lots
of "clicks and thumps" in the headphones when using QSK. He
finally bought a PRO2 and while admitting the PRO2 chopped the
first characters, he actually preferred it to the Yaesu. He set
his Logikey keyer to make up for the "chopping". I'd really 
prefer the Field but am receiving conflicting information on
the QSK issue.
