Likewise. I have run mine (kit built) for years, mostly in contests, and
never heard anything at all like that. I have heard a rapid series of
low-volume clicks, lasting a few seconds, when I shut the amp off after a
session but never a click while it's running. OTOH I do not use data modes -
almost all CW and rarely SSB. Those clicks may be "normal" in the sense that
others have it as well, but I would think there's a construction flaw somewhere
. . . Can you isolate the source more precisely?

I have never heard anything like that on my early kit-assembled KPA500.
But... I've only used it extensively on CW. It would be interesting to
know if the clicks are being experienced only under high duty cycle
usage such as digital modes or if they have also been heard in CW/SSB duty.
