[Elecraft] Begali and K2

[Rich McCabe]

Paul,

My signature did come with the gold contacts and work great !

I guess your choice is buying contacts from Piero which are not going to be 
cheap and appear to be a time consuming install (not sure) or one of 
MicroHams debouncer cables.

I have the debouncer cable here but think I am going to send it back. Not 
sure what I think about a "cable" that requires a watch battery :)

73,

Rich
