I'm a relatively new owner of a KPA500. I'm also, thanks to the new K3 firmware, using QSK for the first time in my ham career.

These two facts have led to me hearing a slight clicking noise emanating from the amp that follows the keying. This is unrelated to drive or output power, since it happens in the TX Test mode too. I understand that PIN diodes are used for RF switching but it still sounds like a reed relay to me.

Any explanation? (Hint) Having a schematic would probably make this self explanatory.
