Is the rig set to QSK?  I had some clicks, possibly what you're hearing.  A
suggestion on the list was to set the break-in delay (manual page 16) to a small
value.  QSK is 0; I set it to 0.03 some time ago and no more clicks.  True, it's
no longer QSK, but the delay is so small it doesn't bother me.  A shorter delay
may resolve it for you.
