==========
The Omni V and the Omni VI have decent CW waveforms (no klix), but the
Omni VI+ has bad klix.  Apparently when Ten-Tec upgraded from the VI to
the VI+ they did something to the transmit AGC loop that buggered up the
CW waveform.  I understand that some hams have done a mod to the VI+ to
alleviate the problem.

I haven't tested my K2 for klix, but I understand that the K2 has a
slight click problem.  Too fast of a transition on either the rise or
fall time.

When I say "klix", I mean that the CW bandwidth is on the wide side. 
When tuning in on the clicky signal with a narrow CW filter, you can hear
the clicks 1 or 2 kHz before the signal is in the passband of the narrow
filter.
