[Elecraft] High End Paddles

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Ha! Ha! I've often asked for a "bug emulator" mode for the keyer so I could
key like a bug using the paddles when portable, but pundits always jump up
and tell me that I'd be unhappy with the feel of paddles. They're right, of
course, and that's now why I wanted it. I just wanted to keep the bug
operation, including the ability to send American Morse (which keyers don't
allow because it requires using varying lengths of dashes) when using
paddles portable in the field. 

So, instead of having a bug emulator for a keyer, you've come up with the
same thing to allow using paddles with a bug!
