[1000mp] Clicks/Thumps Resolved

[John]

Some steps I've taken have greatly improved the transmit audio of the 
Mark V Field on CW, nearly eliminating the clicks/thumps in the 
headphones I complained about on this reflector recently.

First, I switched back to the Yaesu Collins 500 Hz filter (YF-115C) for 
the "Narrow 1" slot and put the 500 Hz INRAD filter that had been in the 
main receiver in the sub-receiver. Result: a significant reduction in 
clicks/thumps.

I also did a full CPU reset, and set the keyer break-in time (Menu 7-4) 
to 25 ms.

The noise is now nearly gone. It rates a "no problem."

It strikes me that whatever advantage the INRAD 500 Hz filter may have 
had in the way of sharper skirts, it is not worth the aggravation, at 
least for this op.

Now I can enjoy the rig :-)
