Although I've returned to Kenwood gear, I ran a couple of SDR-IQs for years as a
panadapters on both a K3 and a K3S using SpectraVue and VSPE for port sharing.
The SDR-IQ will click a couple of times at boot up but never after that. The
TS-890 I use now has a beautiful display so I don't need the SDR there but I
still use one in conjunction with my back-up TS-590SG, where it also performs
flawlessly.

ps. I wish SpectraVue would run my Perseus.

Well, I found the cause of the clicking (but not what is clicking).
I use two almost identical computers (DELL Inspiron desk tops). One is for
general Internet use, e-mail, etc. the other is dedicated to ham radio sw.
The K3 is connected to the later one. So I decided to try a different USB port
(4 ports on back, 2 on front) and the clicking stopped. I had disconnected a
USB cable to do this. When I reconnected it the clicking started back up.
That cable goes to my SDR-IQ receiver. Apparently the two radios are
interacting (maybe trying to connect to the same port?). Anyway, simple
solution is to run SDR-IQ on computer A and K3 on computer B. Maybe I will
explore this deeper at a later time.
This was not the start-up port testing that windows does. This was non-stop
clicking as long as K3 was connected (wether powered On or OFF). Obvious it
was computer generated as it stopped if computer shut-down or USB cable
disconnected from K3.
curious that the clicking appeared to not interfere with K3 operation or
running computer sw (like wsjt-x).
we can close this topic.
