[Elecraft] switching on click .. long thread

[John Ragle]

Please excuse the fact that I cut the tail off this post. I think there 
are enough copies floating in reflector land that the subject will be 
recognized.

It is interesting that a significant fraction of the respondents do not 
experience the thump reported by others. Although I don't consider this 
thump or click a defect, I wonder if it can have to do with the type of 
power supply being used, e.g. a regulator transient caused by the sudden 
load. I do not experience this thump, and I am running my K3 off a 13.8 
V Pyramid switcher...definitely not what I would call a super-quality 
power supply...I have not tried a battery, but am tempted by curiosity 
to do so. What sayeth the multitude?
