I sent my K2 back to Elecraft a little more than a year ago because of
annoying audio pops in the speaker during power up and power down.  After a
thorough check, it was returned to me with an explanation that it was a
"normal" occurrence.

Having my K3 for several months now, I am learning to live with the same
type of annoying audio pops on power up.  I was hoping there would be some
way to fix this in the software (perhaps a slight delay in the audio line
during power up like other ham rigs and stereo gear).  They are the only two
rigs I own that display this quirk.
