[Elecraft] Elecraft CW keying mistakes using bugs - semiautomatic keys

[IK4EWX]

Dear friends, Elecraft K3S owners, now I am sure that the K3S is a CW
transceiver suitable only for the use of paddles with its internal keyer or
external pc keying.
I had already noticed with the Begali Intrepid bug that the K3S introduced
extra points that were not my manipulation errors. 
Today, using a spectacular and magnificent Mecograph mod. 3 of 1908,
restored to maximum efficiency, in transmission at about 25 wpm, the
Elecraft K3S, both in qsk and in vox, generates a lot of errors in
transmission. It generate understandable CW.
The same bug used on a Ten Tec Corsair II and a Cubic 102BXA is instead
perfect, with an excellent cw and without any errors.
There is and has been certainly a problem with the key input circuit on the
K3S. 
I hope that the same design and construction error will not happen again on
the K4 Elecraft.
Otherwise it will certainly not be a bug user transceiver.
It is a lot better an IC7300, which my friend IK4DCT uses with his two
Mecographs without any problems.
