[Elecraft] Paddle for K3

I have an entirely different problem!  When I hook my paddle up to my K3, it 
seems to send with a distinctively italian accent.  None of the firmware 
updates address this issue, and I am totally frustrated.  Do you suppose the 
problem could be that I am using a Begali paddle?  Help!
