[Elecraft] K2 key clicks

[Floyd Sense]

I'm new to the K2 world and used my K2/100 for the entire CW SS with no
complaints.  After reading your post, I decided to see if I have a click
problem.  My Icom 765 sits beside the K2 and I ran it with no antenna while
running the K2 at 100 watts into a dummy load.  The result was an S9 signal
from the K2 on the 765.  I tuned the entire CW band on the 765 very
carefully, and didn't hear any clicks at all when tuning outside the
passband of the 765's 500Hz filters.  I tried various keyer speeds and
varied the T-R delay but no clicks.  Apparently from other comments the CW
waveform could be improved, but it certainly isn't as bad as the average
Yaesu.
