Well, gee, I can get those effects on my K3, even long telegraphic dashes

I just use my Bug to key the rig!

Ron,
I have paralleled both an N3ZN and Begali signature to key my K2's. I bit
expensive for keying SSB transmit, but I think very impressive if not
overkill. Can't wait to do the same for the K3 on the order list. Maybe
I'll use just one. And move the only the Begali to the K3?! A bit

I'm a fan of GHD bugs (currently using a dual lever GN107WS), and
recently noticed that they offer an electronic keyer with what they
call "E-Bug" mode. I wasn't sure what to make of it but the ablility
to record even straight key messages seemed interesting.
I must confess that I don't mind heari

You'll find lots of support too, Bill. Just not so vocal
here, I guess.
A long time ago I suggested a "bug mode" in the Elecraft
keyers. That would

In my view, the so called "bug swing" is anything but "nice"! Why
anyone would try to send anything but correctly formed code characters
is beyond me!

CW-swing is related to music. Timing is so important.
Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra are still famous for their timing.
A 1-2-3-4 march has a steady beat. But have you ever heard the Saint
Louis Blues March?
Lots of examples...

No it isn't. It's related a person with a poor fist that cannot control the
length of the dashes to match the dots they are sending. It has nothing to do
with music; It has to do
Well, Arni, this is a case where mileages *do* vary. I, for one, find a
reasonable amount of "swing" improves copy and reduces fatigue. But, then,
I've been listening to it from both commercial and amateur operators for
over half a century now...

No it isn't. It's related a person with a poor fist that cannot control the

st me perhaps. When I used a "bug" I wanted
others to think I was using a keyer, and with a keyer and

Obviously that's not everyone's cup of tea, but I take great
comfort in knowing that at least my K3's decode
