[Elecraft] K3 - 2.73/1.98 Clicks on Power On

[Don Wilhelm]

Len,

My K3 clicks a bit when it is powered on (and off too).  It has been 
there since the beginning - and has not been dependent on any firmware 
level.

This is just a case of hearing the electronics become active.  Unlike my 
stereo equipment which mutes the output until all that switching on 
startup/shutdown is finished.

I actually like to hear those sounds - it tells me that something really 
is happening.  I sit and wonder whether anything is happening with my 
stereo equipment when I first power it on, and I don't know if the 
power-on really worked OK until the 10 second timeout.

73,
Don W3FPR
