[Elecraft] New bug, popping on dah side

[John Oppenheimer]

Nice!! A Begali Intrepid,

All bugs will have contact bounce. K3 does not handle them well at all,
same for KX3/2. K2 is much more tolerant. Though normally for the dot side.

I fixed it with a home-brew debouncer:

Others cam be found on the WWW. It was fun designing and building one.
