What most folks miss is that because CW is really 100% AM of a carrier by a rectangular wave, IMD, which is a product of amplitude non-linearity, is also a major contributor to clicks on CW.

The strength of clicks and their bandwidth is the result of two factors -- the rise/fall time of the keying, and the non-linearity in the RF chain, including the rig and the power amp. Hopefully this circuitry will be active on CW as well as sideband.
