Fw: K2: "Pop" when switching certain bands

[Jim KO5V]

I forgot to mention that the K2 is connected to my KPA100, so I'll recheck it without the amp.

>Today I noticed a "pop" on the audio of my K2 when I changed in and out 15M, so I checked the switching on all bands:

>When changing from 15M to 12M or 17M it is fairly loud. Changing from 12M or 17M to 15M causes a fainter "pop". A much more attenuated "pop" happens when changing from 14M to 10M, and also from 10M back to 14m.

>Also, on 15M, when changing from VFO B to VFO A I hear a loud "pop", but it does not happen going from A to B.
>
>The fainter "pops" might have always been there, but the ones on 15M are loud enough to cause the clip light on my DSP to turn red.

>Any more ideas?  Thanks in advance.
