[K3] k144xv M>V relay clicking?

Mike Markowski-2
When I use M>V and the vfo A knob to cycle through 2m memories I hear a
relay click each time I move to a new 2m memory, even before hitting M>V
to exit that mode.  Is this expected?  It doesn't seem necessary.

Thanks!

Ron, no, it happens even when I move from 147.030 to 147.060.  I even
stored the same freq in VFO B to be sure that didn't have something to
do with it.  But I get the little click each time I rotate the vfo A
knob from one 2m mem to the next.  Just to emphasize, this is not when
I'm tuning but when I'm cycling through memories in the M>V mode.
