Yes, I noticed this on my bug also. This happens almost entirely on characters that start with a 'dah'. I think this is because the index finger is off the paddle between characters and the initial attack is a little more forceful. Subsequent dahs in the same character sound fine, but that first one has a 'tick' (a spike by the sound of it). No problem at all with the dits.
BTW, I don't think this is a matter of bug adjustment; you can get the same effect by tapping down on a straight key from a slight distance. So it is a matter of technique. I can avoid it on the bug by keeping my index finger resting against the paddle all the time and avoiding that first hard strike, but can't send as well that way; maybe with practice... 73, Drew AF2Z lstavenhagen wrote: > > Heh.
