[Elecraft] [K3] Phase Noise / CW Key Clicks

[David Gilbert]

I only said "almost no clicks" because I don't believe in absolutes.  
Please identify what level (in db referenced to the main carrier within 
some defined bandwidth) you believe clicks are generated by the K3 and 
describe how you measured it.  I would be very interested in that 
information.
