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

I was not complaining about the K3 QSK+ or requesting that Elecraft do
anything at all about this. Merely commenting on the curious effect
(because it is the dit contact on bugs that is typically screwed up;
not the dahs).
I noted that it was a matter of technique, and I've found that I can

CW plus was made to faithfully reproduce the keying at very high speeds,
and has to take the blip seriously.
This sounds like an identical thread from last August. Just as some CW
keyer circuits require debouncing when using paddle contacts having
dissimilar metals, debouncing a bug is a good
into this. That's why
it's still BETA software at this point... Don't poo poo it so fast.

The dissimilar metals issue was not one of bounce. It was
Hi Cookie,
I have seen that video and it is well beyond the degree of motion that
I use on the bug.
In fact, I have a Viz right-angle bug which is a lighter key and
requires a lighter touch than the typical Vibroplex. And I use it
without benefit of any epoxy, superglue, and/or anchor bolts
the Elecraft guys know that they should look into this. That's
why it's still BETA software at this point... Don't poo poo it so fast.

From the time of CW key closure to RF, I measure a blistering 7 ms, beating
the IC-7700 I measured by a solid 2 ms
Heh. The new QSK is so fast it picks up bounce on the Dah contact on my
