[Elecraft] K2 audio pops

[w4vpi at excite.com]

OK FB Bill, thanks for the info. The main reason I got the k2 is because of the excellent reputation as a CW rig.  I can't understand why a cw rig such as this has to be operated in a special way to limit pops.  I am sure the Ten-Tec guys are laughing at the fact that some k2 ops can't enjoy QSK !

The pops are present on the headphone as well as the speaker, and when in the Test mode or not in test mode. 
The Noise reduction helps, but does not remove the offenders. Some previous posts have wondered if the audio pops are becasue of a "mute delay" that is not operating properly. The elecraft site has a reference to this problem, but the link to a mod is broken. It is a old link.
I was hoping to get more info on the Mod and other possible fixes without having to change my ops style (no QSK).  thanks.
