Nah .. Jim.. please read the K3 thread I posted.

The modifications described by this conversation were to improve the
clarity of keying, not to eliminate clicks.
I understand this so there is some possibility a small K3 population is
operational and could benefit of a SW upgrade.
Not true. Upgrades have included all sorts of operational features.
About any discomfort for the frequency domain neighbors, my guess is the
discomfort of unmodified FT1000, FT2000 and FT3000 plus FT5000 is much
bigger than any K3 production lot.
Repeating, since 2008 when I received mine, K3s have never had issues
with clicks. As with all stations, clicks can be generated in power amps.
Beginning with the K3 and all of its accessories, firmware upgrades are

Huh ?
Easier than a menu setting ?
Feels like marketing men promises.
Coming from YC-Jim, I buy the idea it is possible.
If it is already implemented, Super !
What I described has been implemented since K3 was in beta test, in 2007-8.
Thanks for the positive comments on my work. Yes, like Rob Sherwood's,
it is ongoing.
