The person who told you about the clicks was probably 100% correct. The fact is, most of the people you'll work today on CW wouldn't know a click if they heard it, or how to check for clicks. I detected the problem on my TR7 a while back and was very fortunate to find someone who had the solution. It's a rather simple fix that really works. Check here: http://www.k8ac.net/KeyClicks.html
Check out your TR7 clicks before and after the fixes to see the results. I ran the TR7 into a dummy load at about 100W output and listened to the signal on my Icom 781. I tuned across the signal from zero beat until the clicks were no longer heard, and noted the signal strength at points along the way. The fixes made a tremendous reduction in the clicks, with the remaining click bandwidth no greater than that of my 781. Best of luck! 73, Floyd - K8AC ----- Original Message ----- From: J.

This is the first time I have been told that. Have always gotten sounds great comments on CW. When I listen on my Omni VII to the TR7, I do hear key clicks. When I listen to my Omni VII on the TR7, I do not hear any key clicks. This do sit on the same desk. Suggestions? Comments?
