[Elecraft] K3: killing RX key clicks

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I suspect that over-driving an external amplifier is a major cause of
excessive clicks on the bands today. Many Hams think that CW doesn't require
the final amplifier be linear and drive their rigs into saturation. But a
"linear" amplifier needs to be linear for CW just as with any amplitude
modulation (SSB, AM, CW, etc.)

It 
IS better since he converted to K3s a couple of years ago, but his 
splatter was 10 kHz wide during SS. Another guy, a casual operator and 
sometimes contester, runs a high priced ICOM rig into a high priced 
auto-tune power amp. He's also a click generator.
