[Elecraft] Bug mode on K3?

[Bill Breeden]

I have tried that, but (at least on my K3) there is a timing interaction 
between the paddle input and the straight key input that delays the 
first dah when crossing over from a dit to a dah in same character.  
There is no issue when crossing over from a dah to a dit.  In other 
words, I could send a "B" just fine, but couldn't send "V".  There maybe 
some adjustment I could have made, but I didn't pursue it.  The delay I 
encountered isn't related to the semi break-in delay adjustment on the 
front panel.
