Ron : It sounds like what you need is a Palm Paddle and the integrated Code Cube Keyer. The Code Cube is a custom version of the Jackson Harbour PK4 keyer and it does have a "Bug" mode. The combination of the two would give you a very compact "eBug" that should solve your problem. http://www.mtechnologies.com/palm/cc.htm The code cube manual is here : http://www.mtechnologies.com/palm/cc-83p_e.pdf If you check out Menu #4 you'll see that there is a "Bug Mode". I have one and I have tried Bug mode and it works fine.
