regs?"

Apparently not, but Riley may crack down on clicks someday.

" 2) Does the severity of the Key Clicks vary from rig to rig? (i.e. will
one K2's click be a problem while another's are acceptable?)"
----------
It could to a small extent.  Because all K2s are the same circuit with
same value components, they're pretty much all alike, regardless of
comments you've heard, like, "I've never gotten a click complaint."

No click problem is acceptable.

"3)  Should we *ALL* be checking to see if we have this problem (in order
to conform with the regs, if in fact #1 above is an issue)."
----------
No need to check.  It has clicks, so do the mod.

"Of course I understand that we should all be striving for the cleanest
possible signal, but..."
----------
Yes, of course we should, and we should strive to not incense our
neighboring hams with our clicks.
