Some popular rigs in use by contesters (in particular the 1000MP series)
have very bad keyclicks unless modified

Unfortunately it is not uncommon at all to hear bad keyclicks during
major contests 

The K2 receive performance is certainly up to contesting, I use my K2 in
preference to my 756PRO2 for CW contesting as it hears better
