    Brand New Texas Star DX500

    Finally got around to it and reports are very good with RCI 2950DX and Wilson 1K mag mount. One question is: I can hear the relay clicking quite a bit as I talk while keyed up. The relay seems to click more, the longer I modulate. Doesn't matter if low or high power. TS DX500 panel...
