This is the second discussion of key clicks on the cq-contest reflector and
again Elecraft is being supported as the only transceiver clean enough to be
entered in contests.
I find it hard to believe that Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu have done nothing to
fix problems like clicks. I know a couple of FTDX5000 owners who have
corrected this and it seems Yaesu has incorporated this into the equipment.
I have a FT-1000MP MK V 200 watt model that has the W8JI mod. If this is a
real problem then why have not the manufacturers fixed this?
Some of the new transceivers cost more than I have invested in Amateur Radio in
almost 60 years. I am certain that contestants do not intentionally click and
to send them a message during the contest is counterproductive.
It seems to me the best approach is to address this problem directly with the
manufacturers.
