I'll go ahead an mention it. The ICOM PRO series is well know for hearing clicks that aren't there. In fact, the rx in those rigs has the ability to convert static into ear splitting clicks. When they first hit the market, some owners were saying "The DSP filters are so sharp that when you tune off frequency, you can't hear the carrier but can still hear the clicks", trying to make us believe that the clicks were actually present but just couldn't be heard on lesser receivers! I had both the PRO II and PRO III. Both were bad for this but otherwise great rigs and I still miss the handy scope eventhough I have LP-PAN, which is far superior, I still miss the built in bandscope. So KA1J sounded very clean on this end but maybe not on a PRO.
