[Elecraft] KX3 single lever key

[Don Wilhelm]

I have similar difficulty John, those *#%! alternating dits and dahs are 
just not for me.
I can use a dual lever paddle if the keying is Ultimatic - no 
alternating, and the last paddle closed gets priority.

So Wayne, if enough of us beg, can you add Ultimatic keying? Especially 
desired for the KX3.
