Agreed. It would be really nice to eliminate these. When I'm tuning  
the bands and I encounter one of these clunks, I often tune back to  
see what the signal was that I missed. I've noticed that the rig will  
often clunk one way, but not the other.

Another related issue is the appearance of phantom signals while  
keying CW under QSK. This is especially apparent during contests.  
You'll hear someone sending something, so you'll stop sending -- and  
the signal disappears. Kinda defeats the purpose of all that big  
dynamic range....
