[Elecraft] [K3] k144xv M>V relay clicking?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

FB Mike: That's a new one on me but with my weakened hearing (too much live
fire in the Army) I don't hear relays, usually (see, there's a good side to
everything).

If someone doesn't have an answer here, recommend you post your question on
the K3 support reflector (K3support *at* elecraft *dot* com).

Ron, no, it happens even when I move from 147.030 to 147.060.  I even
stored the same freq in VFO B to be sure that didn't have something to
do with it.  But I get the little click each time I rotate the vfo A
knob from one 2m mem to the next.  Just to emphasize, this is not when
I'm tuning but when I'm cycling through memories in the M>V mode.
