I haven't noticed any key bounce with my K2 yet. Switches do seem to have 
more bounce in them as they age with use. It can be solved with firmware. 
The general rule of thumb I go by is to allow 20mS settling time after 
detecting a change in a contact closure before acting on the change (if the 
change is still detected after the settling time).

The people at Elecraft could always increase the time they allow for key 
bounce before acting on apparent key presses if other K2 radios start 
exhibiting the same problem.


Cheers!
