[Elecraft] Bug mode on K3?

[Edward R Cole]

I received a K1EL K14 Keyer in the mail from Joel, W4BBJ, who offered 
it to me when I reported having trouble learning to use my paddle 
with Iambic keying (using the k3 internal keyer).

The K14 offers six keying modes:
1- Iambic-A
2- Iambic-B
3- Ultimatic
4- straight key
5- Dit priority
6- Dash priority

Not sure I would ever use the last two, but I am eager to try out 
Ultimatic mode to see if it feels more natural for me.

The plus is 12 programable messages, two callsign memories, beacon 
mode, programmable delays, message stacking, etc. etc. with no 
computer.  I'll be able to store five standard eme messages with 
additional memory left.

I can see it running my 6m in beacon and my 10-GHz beacon with no 
extra hardware.
Big plus was the two radio connections so I can have both my Bencher 
and straight key available for either K3 or KX3 at the throw of a 
switch.  Loving it already ;-)

Thanks to Joel for the nice offer - and it looks quite nicely assembled!
