[Elecraft] Bug mode on K3?

[Phil Wheeler]

I have the K1EL K42, Ed. Built it last Spring for 
the fun of it as much as anything. It was a very 
nice kt and the final product seems excellent.

This thread title has been making me chuckle a 
bit: How often do hams ask for bugs in their 
equipment? :-

So I have a weird sense of humor :-)
