It was my understanding that the issue with key clicks was when they
interfere with OTHER signals on adjacent channels. Maybe that's why I'm
trying in vain to find any clicks that would interfere with ADJACENT
signals.=20

So, why are we doing this if it isn't to reduce QRM to off-frequency
signals??

Color me more puzzled than ever...=20
