[Elecraft] K3 CW keyer issues

True, but this wasn't about those keyers. It was about the variations in the
logic used in modern iambic keyers with dot and dash memories. And even
those variations didn't become an issue until keyers were built into rigs.
Fortunately, virtually all keyers today use one of two basic logic modes, so
it's pretty easy to figure out which one works, once the operator realizes
there *is* a difference. 

This wasn't the first time someone thought a keyer was defective because
they stumbled across one using the mode they hadn't used in the past. 

It was a good question to raise.

Heck, keyers went way back into the late 40's, if I recall correctly...
