Many thans to all, and a special thanks to KN5L for the oscilloscope
traces
I will insert a debouncer before the key input of my K3S.
I have some MAC bugs with the mechanical debouncers, but on the Mac 1937
with debouncer seem to persist a bounces problems, and with the Mecograph
the problem
I rarely use it any more, because I'm lazy. The keyer is easier. Also,
my bug fist isn't what it used to be. But I do want it to sound clean
when I do.

A cousin who had used it in the Navy gave me his bug when I was a new

Straight key is one thing. The dit contacts of bugs can be somewhat
sketchy/scratchy. There's very little pressure pushing the contacts together
when they first make. It's a common problem on many rigs with many bugs. One
fix that's been around forever (predates 555 timers and transistors)

Not true. The K3 can easily be used with a straight key, plugged into
the KEY jack.

Hi Ian,
All Bugs have some amount of contact bounce. K3 does not have debounce
circuitry. I use a debounce device between Bug and rig. Several can be
found on the internet.
I made one: https://www.kn5l.net/debounce555/

Dear friends, Elecraft K3S owners, now I am sure that the K3S is a CW
transceiver suitable only for the use of paddles with its internal keyer or
external pc keying.
I had already noticed with the Begali Intrepid bug that the K3S introduced
extra points that were not my manipulation errors.
