Some people always want to believe they magically have the only FT1000 series radio that never had severe keyclicks. They get a little defensive to the first few dozen complainers until it sinks in that every Yaesu made for a number of years had a bad problem, and there were no factory

W5JAW has a click free MP but he says making it totally click free required much more work than just the common modifications - the fix included a multi-stage ALC modification. Two comments from Jim: As I told you some time back, I worked real hard on optimizing the keying waveform on my rig.
